Why jewellery makes for a good investment, according to an expert

Colourful, cheerful, sober, feminine, and at the same time, classic.

My must-have is the Serpenti watch in pink gold and black ceramic. And I always have lots of jewellery on me: bracelets that I never take off, including an iconic one from the B.Zero1 Zaha Hadid collection, and a tubogas Monete choker. When I am in the office, I do change my necklaces every day, sometimes wearing and appreciating our High Jewellery creations while at my workspace.

Bracelets – large and small. I can wear up to 10 bracelets at a time! I like to wear tennis bracelets with coloured sapphires as I find them cheerful, fun and feminine, and of course, I also like to mix them.

On weekends, I tend to dress more casually, but one thing is a constant – heels!

What’s important to me in jewellery, even when I create it, is its wearability. The same thing applies when I buy it – it must be versatile enough for both day and night.

I really like Alberta Ferretti and Giambattista Valli – they’re contemporary and high quality, and above all, have a style that is always renewed. For day, I like to mix brands. I do not follow a stylist and I do not follow fashion trends. I buy what I like and that makes me feel at ease. I also like the eclectic work of (Italian artist-designer) Cleto Munari.

Most definitely, my beloved gemstones.

There is always a story behind it. That, for me, is always linked to love or a loved one – a friend, a family member or even yourself.

Precious and top quality stones like those used in Bvlgari’s (designs) have become increasingly rare and precious, so I believe that they will hold their value.

Returning to my “former” life: travelling, which is my source of inspiration; relating to my team in the office; and no longer seeing the social distancing – though we still have to pay close attention to that today of course.
