Why invest in precious stones?

The world of finance offers increasingly complex and abstract investment vehicles, most of which are no longer backed by tangible assets.

Precious stones offer significant advantages:

  • They are the most compact form of wealth.
  • They offer a welcome level of discretion compared with other investments such as real estate or art.
  • They are ideal for preserving or passing on a legacy.

 

In our constant search for rarity and quality, SYNAPSIA selects for investment only natural, untreated and unheated precious stones: less than 2% of the world market. Each stone comes with a report from a recognised laboratory.

Exceptional raw materials:

  • They are tangible, durable assets that have historically held their value well.
  • Global demand is growing, and many investors see them as a genuine diversification tool.
  • Their prices move independently of traditional asset classes and financial markets.

 

Two main markets:

  • COLOURED STONES: an over-the-counter market with many players.
  • DIAMONDS: a market structured by large companies, where everything is inventoried, graded and listed (diamond bourses, official price lists).

How we support you: defining your budget and time horizon, sourcing stones through our partners in the countries of origin and cutting, laboratory certification, advice on safekeeping, insurance and succession.

As with any investment, buying gemstones involves risk; past performance is no guide to future returns and no return is guaranteed.
