Why sell your sapphire back?

There could be countless reasons for wanting to sell your sapphire back. However, two primary main reasons usually prevail. For example, you may have inherited or acquired a jewel with a sapphire that holds no emotional value for you. Other people looking to sell blue sapphires are investors who specifically purchased one to sell on at a profit.

It makes no difference which category you belong to; what is important is to do your homework so you get to see the sapphire’s actual value on your bank statement, should you decide to sell it. Take into account that the price of sapphire correlates to its value. Key elements in this regard are colour followed by clarity.

As opposed to diamonds, there is no universal certificate for coloured gemstones that specifies and guarantees their value. This makes it far more complicated to determine the exact worth and price of your sapphire. However, a number of laboratories, such as the Gemological Institute of America, do have the so-called ‘Coloured Stone Report’ that states your gemstone’s generic properties.

At what point can you sell your sapphire?

You can decide to sell your sapphire at any time you like. The market for premium quality gemstones is highly specialised, one that to a lesser extent is impacted by the economy. In-depth knowledge of this sector is a must in order to determine the right time to sell. If you don’t possess this know-how yourself, seeking expert advice, such as from BNT Diamonds, is highly recommended.

You could opt to hold onto your sapphire for a longer period. Due to their rarity and forthcoming source depletion, the price of gemstones such as sapphire, rubies and emeralds consistently see an upward trend. Accordingly, they comprise a lucrative long-term investment, and as such attract many young investors and newcomers to the world of investment.
