Hi Guys
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.
Best regards,

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.
