Top 5 Investment Gems
Top 5 Investment Gems
Gemstone investing is not for everyone. But for those who love fine gemstones and beautiful jewelry, rare gems have a good history of increasing in value over time. When the stock market is declining and currency is losing value, gemstones tend to be a reliable store of value that is also compact, portable, and private.
Though gemstones are not as liquid as gold, a high-quality Burmese ruby or Ceylon sapphire will always retain its value. New discoveries, like the valuable neon spinel discovered in Mahenge, Tanzania in 2007, provide new opportunities for collectors. But in general, the world demand for fine gemstones far exceeds the supply, and gemstone prices mainly move upward over time.
Any high quality gem may be worthy of investment. But based on our years in the trade, here is our list of the top 10 investment gems.
1. Ruby
Fine ruby is the rarest of all colored gems, and Burmese Ruby has long been the premier investment gem. Fine unheated Burmese rubies in larger sizes draw prices as high as $300,000 to $400,000 a carat at auction. Vivid red -- a color is known in the trade as pigeon's blood -- is the most valuable color. Rubies tend to have inclusions, so the color is more important than perfect clarity.
Burma rubies are by far the most valuable, but fine unheated rubies from other locations -- Madagascar, Mozambique, and Tanzania -- are rapidly increasing in value.

2. Blue Sapphire
Based on sales from the top auction houses, Blue sapphire is the second most popular colored stone for investment.
The rarest sapphires are from Kashmir, but no new material has been mined there in more than 100 years. The next most valuable is Burma sapphire, followed by Ceylon and Madagascar. Fancy color sapphires -- yellow, pink, and padpardascha -- are now popular with investors as well.
