Buying and Investing in Australian Sapphires- Liz's personal spin

Buying and Investing in Australian Sapphires- Liz's personal spin

Hello, fellow gemstone enthusiasts and collectors! Today I want to share my personal perspective on why buying and investing in Australian sapphires is not just a passion but a smart choice. My journey into the world of gemstones has been inspired not only by my own love for gems but also online articles and conversations with experts in the field, particularly those who have just returned from the big gem trade fairs over in Asia. I can't wait to unveil the positives of investing in Australian sapphires while shedding light on some facts, both the pros and cons.

Unveiling a Gem of Rarity and Beauty: Australian sapphires have truly come into their own, capturing the hearts of collectors and investors worldwide. What sets them apart is their unique characteristics, stunning beauty, and exceptional rarity. The introduction of parti, yellow, green, and teal-coloured sapphires from Australia has ignited a global upturn in the global market, driving their prices higher and higher. As an investor, the prospect of owning gemstones of extraordinary quality and colours is nothing short of exhilarating.

Personal Frustration: Undervaluing Our Precious Sapphires. One thing that has been bothering me is witnessing some individuals in the industry drive down prices by underselling and undervaluing Australian sapphires. It's disheartening to see our precious natural resources not getting the recognition they deserve. But this is where we, as enthusiasts, investors and anyone involved in the sapphire industry as a whole can make a difference.

No Accredited Source: The Need for Market Governance. Another challenge we face is the absence of a single accredited source to govern market prices, especially for Australian sapphires. This lack of oversight can lead to misleading information and further devaluation of our sapphires (which we see regularly). It's time we consider establishing a reliable authority to protect our interests and ensure fair pricing.

Research Pays Off: Recognizing Value Appreciation. Investing in Australian sapphires demands due diligence, and one thing that many overlook is the market's consistent increase in the value of our Aussie sapphires particularly in the last 3 years. Overseas markets have shown significant growth in the worth of Australian sapphires, making their prices soar. Surprisingly, many in Australia are unaware of just how much the value has risen. It's high time we spread this knowledge and ensure our own citizens reap the benefits.

Strength in Unity: Stop Underselling Our Precious Sapphires. Let's band together and stop underselling our precious natural sapphires. Why let overseas buyers reap all the rewards when we should be looking after ourselves first? As someone who mines for sapphires, especially as a small-scale miner, I understand the tremendous effort required to find these gems. This fact alone should underline their value.

Pricing Perspective: Now, let's talk numbers. The value of Australian sapphires has soared over the years. The finest stones with excellent colour, clarity, and carat weight can command prices ranging from $1000 to $5000+ AUD per carat. This price appreciation reflects the growing global recognition and demand for Australian sapphires. However, it's vital to remember that, like any investment, sapphire values can fluctuate. Seek guidance from trusted professionals to navigate this terrain wisely as all of our personal research points towards a healthy future growth.

A Balancing Act: Facts on the Pros and Cons: Like all investments, its crucial to understand the pros and cons of investing in Australian sapphires. While rarity and increasing demand can positively impact their value, factors like market fluctuations and potential price volatility should be considered. Expert guidance is indispensable to strike the right balance between potential returns and risks.
