“It’s not about the number of rubies or how much it’s going to fetch but about creating an heirloom piece that you can hand down over generations.” says luxury jewellery designer Bina Goenka,
Bina observed that 90% of her customers are turning to precious statement pieces of jewellery as a passion investment option. Jewellery historically appreciates at about the rate that money inflates. Gone are the days when gold bars and silver coins are bought as an investment. Today, affluent style-aware investors with rising disposable incomes are turning to handcrafted individualistic jewellery as a key passion investment to satiate their desire for luxury alongside diversifying their portfolio. Crisil, a credit ratings agency, recently observed that India’s jewellers turn over about $25 billion a year. Not surprisingly, jewellery is amongst the only luxury items that has “intrinsic value”, which lasts forever. The Bina Goenka hand-crafted pieces, which start at Rs 20 lakhs and above, are currently the most popular collection amongst her Indian and international clientele.
Giving her insights on this growing trend, Bina says: “Today when people invest in a passion purchase they look to own something that adds flamboyance to their lifestyle, alongside satisfying their need for a long-term asset. Luxury jewellery tantalises investors as it can make them feel like they own modern art whilst ensuring that they receive a safe return on their investment.”
