In recent years, many traditional investments like currencies (Notes), Digital Currency(bitcoin) , and properties have experienced significant depreciation. In contrast, certain gemstones, especially sapphire, ruby, opal, and alexandrite, have consistently maintained or increased in value, demonstrating their strength as tangible assets. This resilience positions them as powerful and safe investments.
To share this stable investment opportunity globally, I propose establishing a robust selling platform. By creating a secure and user-friendly online marketplace, we can educate potential investors on the benefits of gemstone investments and engage a worldwide audience. By incorporating resources on their historical value performance and collaborating with international gemstone experts, we can ensure informed decision-making. Furthermore, emphasizing responsible sourcing and ethical selling practices will reinforce consumer trust and commitment to sustainability.
I’m eager to discuss how we can collaborate on this promising initiative to offer a secure investment option and enhance global economic security.
First, change the Tax Law so that gemstone price appreciation is taxed as a Capital gain.
Second, keep good reords.
Third, do Not have a Public Market. Keep it more like private transactions as does real estate.
Do NOT include diamonds. They’re crap.
Go to local GEM SHOWS (check online for locations and dates) and ask dealers if they will buy back gems you buy from them for what you paid or the market value of the gems.
Discuss gems as investments with dealers who trade in gems BEFORE deciding to invest.
Gems can be a good investment; selling at a profit instead of building a collection or using in jewelry locks up cash that can be put into growing investments unless discretionary income is sufficient to invest in assets that can be liquidated when and as/if needed to a willing buyer.
This is a new venue for us. We have owned a collection of spinels since 1979, and never thought they were worth anything. They were bought by our sellers from a woman in Seattle, and we were told this collection came from a refugee in Cambodia. That country is not a source of spinels and they are probably from Myanmar/Burma. Since spinels are getting more valuable, we want to sell now. We are in our 80s and are loooking for advice. Or collection is 83 stones, averagen cwt is 4.8 cwt. As you can see, and as we have been told, we are the unwitting owners of a collection that is unique,. We do have interest from big name auction houses,but I still think we could do better by ourselves. I hope you can help us here.
this is the only part thaw would not work. gems have bin around lot longer than diamonds and in appropriation way longer to establish a tax on them. It would have to be a global scale effort as they hail from all over the globe, that means that a grand international agreement on a global scale would have to take place, and then you would have the issue with back tax on gems for over 200 years old hahahahah. It would take 10 life times to do or even implement the foot print plan properly. that would collapse the industry totally, before a massive global reset could take place and then a set of legal parameters would have to be established and lined out for preowned and vintage gems! the cost would be astronomical. As it is already seen as a luxury Item and already quite costly it is cheaper to do a gem investment portfolio and sit on your values until there is a demand as the industry has always done. To implement a tax profile for the industry would do nothing but esentualy further displace the markets already quiet spirit standing clientele would dissipate and more financial loss for the lower income bracket that reliye on selling personal items all paid off like engagement rings and second hand gold artefacts to get out of a tight spot at times.
To pout it bluntly it would only further collapse an already currently declining market.
what the world has not yet understood or come to terms with is that gems are more voluble than we credit them for. The rear earth elements that we wear with such confidence are also somewhat volatile to the void of time sure it takes longer but they do easily get lost or broken down( du to oxidisation and polarisation…) and will also at some point seas to exist unless they are looked after witch not every one can do today! du to hi costs and replacement in some cases is totally impassable du to cost and or rarity.
from the dark ages to around almost 200 years ago only the hi wealth and Royalty owned such thing, now there is a slight bit more knowledge out there about them. gems where only coveted by the extremely wealthy not just because of there beauty, but also because of there ever growing rarity and forever increasing values, Ruby’s in this instant where around 180 pound per ct back in the late 80’s for your top top stones now they are over 3000 to 12000 ponds in some of your top top stones. personal I think that every one should invest in gems if they can. They where part of the very first origins of currency and bartering, but how to appropriate it to day with all the instant gratification with lab grown and semi synthetics and the nine other variants of cheap manufactured remakes that are always perfect and always way way cheaper till you need to cash out on that investment and it is wealth nothing, unlike real gems that may have gone up as much as 63 to 84% over a 8 to 12 year period.
They tried to do an implementation of this in Africa to see if it could bring in a revenue feed and it lasted a month till they saw the global cost it would take to implement such a tax program.

I have a serious difficulty dealing with anybody who cannot spell. The same with the other person that has replied to me. It doesn’t give me confidence in your credentials. English is my second language, but I could never be taken seriously, not would I expect to see yout that way either. Let’s just say this conversation never happened. Call me whatever, but some standards still must apply.
I think the main issue with that idea is that, at least in the USA, precious gems (just like gold coins, silver coins, etc.) are regarded as collectibles and, as such, capital gains are taxed at 28%.
