DECO ASAN INVESTMENT

摘要

If you had purchased a fine piece of Art Deco jewelry 5, 15, even 20 years ago.'' says Francois Curie', the worldwide head of jewelry for Christie's, "you would have made a good investment," How good? Consider the Cartier Art Deco diamond and sapphire brooch Christie's auctioned in April: It was estimated to fetch up to $35,000 but sold for $145,000. Then there was the fall 2007 sale of a Bulgari diamond and emerald Deco bracelet for some $200,000 above its estimated value. Well before the current economic doldrums, Deco was to jewelry what Manhattan has traditionally been to real estate: "You wish you'd bought years ago," says Chris Dei Gatto, the owner of Circa. the largest buyer of estate jewelry in the resale market and a bull on Art Deco jewelry.
