Besides these specific criterias to gemstones some other points are of equal importance.
These points apply to all forms of investment and are extremely important when considering gems as a form of investment:

· Professional advice: Like for all financial products it is important that the potential investor should seek advice from a real professional, who knows the products he proposes. It is of great importance to know about the different colors, qualities, origins and prices.
Only the real professional is able to provide the in-depth knowledge required. Our company, with more than 15 years of experience in the field of gemstones, is perfectly qualified to fulfill this task.

· Choose your time-horizon: Like for all investments, the potential investor should have a clear idea about the time-horizon required for his/her investment. We do not propose gemstones as a form of short-term, speculative investment. Gemstones have to be seen as a form of middle, better long-term investment (five years minimum).

· Choose your strategy: Like in all form of investments, there are different approaches possible:
a.) The dynamic strategy is focussed on maximal performance and accepts maximum risks involved.
b.) The conservative strategy is focussed on minimizing the risks and accepts lower performance.
We have a conservative approach and propose gemstones basically as a way of securing wealth on the long term, rather than focussing on a top-performance, which always includes high risk.

· Know your potential: Like in all forms of investment (except may be the savings account), there are risks involved when investing in gemstones. One way to protect your investment at best is to follow the guidelines given here. Another way is to diversify your portfolio with other assets.
We believe that your gemstone investment should not exceed max. 10% of your total portfolio.

RESUME: When proposing gemstones as investments, we do have a conservative approach, focussed on the long-term. Gemstones are the perfect investment for storing, hiding and transferring wealth and an excellent way to diversify any portfolio.
However, like all other forms of investment, gemstones require the personalized advice of a real professional and like a work of art, are also a personal matter.
For this reason we do propose gems to be sold for investment reasons, however we do NOT sell on the Internet and we discourage to do so.
