GoldAfter a decade dominated

by platinum and white gold,

yellow gold has come back on

the scene with bold designs,

transitioning seamlessly from

day to night. Over time, yellow

gold will develop a nice patina,

so don’t rush out to get your

jewellery polished. Even those

little scratches will eventually

merge to create an appealin

Heirloom While

some jewellery is for the

here and now, the best jewellery

remains timeless though, destined

for the next generation. Just think

how much it will mean to your future

granddaughter to know she’s wearing

the piece you so thoughtfully

selected and cared for “way

back” in the early

21st century.

Investment

you love, there’s no question that jewellery is an asset. Just

like with stocks, it’s hard to predict which gemstone will be

the next big thing.We do know, however, that top-quality

markets are in turmoil. In 2006, for example, 5-carat, D colour,

Flawless diamond, could be acquired at auction for about

US$150,000.Today, it would bring over US$300,000.

Jewellery is an extension of fashion, so

wear your Dolce&Gabbana mismatched

suit, and frame your grandmother’s art

deco bracelet with the bracelets you bought

last week. Just maybe not all at the same

time. Be trendy, not tragic.
