Beyond the 4Cs: Three Investment Rules Collectors Won't Tell You 💎📈
In today's volatile market, Christie's data reveals that top-tier jewelry yields 8-12% annual returns, outperforming most asset classes. But how do you select pieces with true heirloom value? We spoke with Sotheby's Asia jewelry chief to uncover industry secrets. 💼✨

Auction Premium
Rule 1: Provenance Over Carats
A 1-carat D-flawless diamond with GIA certification and known mine origin appreciates 40% more over 10 years than a generic 2-carat stone. Auréole exclusively sources "passport-ready" gems, each traceable to its exact mine. 🗺️✨
Rule 2: Craftsmanship Value Is Undervalued
Handcrafted pieces using millegrain or invisible setting techniques command 300% auction premiums. Our master Lorenzo, formerly with Van Cleef & Arpels, created a necklace that achieved 580% premium at Geneva auctions. 👨🎨🔨
Rule 3: Brand Story Drives Liquidity
In 2023, vintage jewelry with complete archives sold 67% faster. Auréole creates digital dossiers for each piece: sketches, process videos, and styling guides—making your investment future-proof. 📈
