Our select service is intended for those seeking a classic hedge against inflation, better tax options, and multi-generational stability. There is a difference between jewelry store gems and investment-grade stones. High-grade gems are like MS-70 coins. They rarely lose value and almost always hold their value or substantially appreciate.

The quality of a gem makes a huge difference in its value and the potential for growth over the years.  While a jewelry-type gem may seem attractive, it doesn't live up to the standard of the rare and precious gem standards.

Common gems are everywhere and synthetic gems further dilute the value of what is found in jewelry stores.  Do not accept the boast that jewelry has the same investment potential as the rarest of rare gems.  

As the standard of quality rises, fewer gems are available.  Rarity is what drives the price of investment-grade gems while other gems remain rather flat in value.  The goal is to stay well ahead of inflation, not merely to stay ahead of it.
