While all investment segments are facing strong fluctuations, gemstones continue to remain a stable, reliable, and international investment option.

The Natural Gem GmbH, Europe’s leading expert in investments in untreated, naturally coloured gemstones, also recommends value-stable investments in selected gemstones for 2026. The company refers to its many years of experience in the international gemstone market as well as the sustained demand for high-quality natural gemstones as tangible assets.

The focus of these recommendations remains on a classic, conservative selection of gemstones that has proven particularly stable over decades. These primarily include rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. These gemstones enjoy high global recognition, are internationally tradable, and are characterised by consistently strong demand. Due to their established market position, they are regarded as comparatively resilient in times of crisis and are better able to withstand major price fluctuations than lesser-known alternatives.

From the perspective of The Natural Gem’s experts, these internationally recognised gemstones provide a solid foundation for investors seeking long-term value preservation. The combination of limited natural occurrence, consistent quality, and global acceptance makes ruby, sapphire, and emerald proven investment gemstones.

In addition, The Natural Gem GmbH also points to more speculative investment opportunities. These include, in particular, tourmaline and alexandrite, which may offer greater appreciation potential due to their rarity and distinctive characteristics. At the same time, the expert team emphasises that these gemstones should be regarded as speculative investments that are subject to stronger market fluctuations.

Managing Partner Dr. Thomas Schröck nevertheless remains convinced that this segment, too, can be expected to deliver positive long-term value development. However, he expressly points out that the decision to make such an investment always lies at the discretion of the individual buyer and requires a corresponding willingness to take on risk.

With this differentiated assessment, The Natural Gem GmbH once again underlines its role as a competent partner for gemstone investments and recommends a conscious, well-informed selection in line with individual investment objectives.
