Koosh Jewelers Discusses Best Ways to Collect Designer Jewelry

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., September 27, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Koosh Jewelers, Miami's largest luxury jewelry and watch showroom, discusses the best way to collect designer jewelry.

Although there is no one strategy for compiling an enviable jewelry collection, Koosh Jewelers outlines the following suggestions:

1. Know the difference between designer jewelry and luxury jewelry

When starting a collection, the first thing people should consider is that "worth" is relative and that all collections should originate from a person's passions. Second, it is important for consumers to recognize the difference between designer jewelry and luxury jewelry. Designer jewelry comes in broad price points that cater to multiple markets, with designs always changing based on popular trends. Designers operate on a seasonal basis, with new collections coming out once or twice a year and unsold inventory from previous seasons being discounted. Designer jewelry is often delivered immediately since there is far less customization involved. 

Luxury jewelry is completely different. These products come in at higher price points to maintain the long and expensive production process for each piece. Luxury brands tend to stay with classic designs that they have perfected over centuries, with fewer variations on their product lines. The prestige of a luxury brand of jewelry comes from the brand's history and sophisticated manufacturing process, as well as their dedication to high-end design tenets. 

2. Invest in adequate storage

While some jewelry pieces are considered rare, people do not have to treat their jewelry like it is going to break at any moment. Although that does not mean they should treat their jewelry carelessly, either. 

For those into wearing their collections more than just storing them, investing in a nice leather and fabric-lined jewelry case that can be easily transported in a carry-on bag is essential. For those that purchase luxury jewelry, it is important for them to secure them in a safety deposit box or a home safe that's bolted into the floor or wall of the house. 

3. Buy sensibly

Jewelry is made to be worn, so simply collecting it to store away and not use is contrary to the purpose of buying jewels. When customers are looking for new pieces, it is important that they find ones that they will actually wear. 

The other option for consumers is to buy pre-owned. Especially in the luxury market, prices can quickly decrease after the initial purchase, so some owners may prefer the predictability of pre-owned jewelry. 

4. Get an appraisal

Although security of one's jewelry is a priority, it is also important to prepare for the possibility of a missing item. One way to manage this scenario is for the customer to get their jewelry appraised. Once their items are assigned a replacement value, they can look at either what their homeowner's insurance will cover or independently insure their jewelry.
