WE BOUGHT A SOVIET SILVER SPOON

7/27/2014

Soviet silver jewellery is becoming more and more profitable to own, it is growing in value faster than Soviet gold and above all it is more accessible to buyers with smaller budget. The spoon displayed above is one of our recently purchased items. It's a great example of currently inexpensive Soviet silverware that will double, triple and even quadruple in value in the near future. That is why we are buying a lot of silver jewelry made in USSR. Join us! Invest in Soviet silver jewelry.

STUNNING SOVIET SILVER SALES FOR MARCH & APRIL 2014 - PRICES REACHED RECORDS HIGHS

7/11/2014

0 Comments

How does one sum up the two hottest months for the Soviet Silver Market this year? Lets put it this way - RECORD SALES WERE REALIZED - RECORD AMOUNTS WERE SOLD - MOST EXQUISITE ITEMS WERE PURCHASED - and all of this during the so called US vs Russia standoff, sanctions and media-wars over Ukraine.

Note: only a small fraction of Soviet silver sales are shown below.

APRIL SALES

WESTERN SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA ARE MAKING SOVIET JEWELRY HOTTER THAN EVER! THE MARKET IS BOOMING!

We've written about this on many occasions now, starting way back when US and Russia went at it in Syria. Now we have a conflict in Ukraine where the two nations are going at it again. However Western sanctions are having the opposite effect, at least on the international Soviet Gold and Silver Jewelry Market. Sales prices are going up, trade is up and over all interest in these unique collectibles is up. That is because of a simple fact, the more the West talks about Russia - the more appealing the Russian culture becomes to the West. We said that in 2013, we are saying this now, and we predict this will be true in many years to come, since Russia is clearly back on the World's stage! Expect to see more about Russia in the news, and because of that expect to see prices on Soviet gold and silver go up, up and up. What can we say, we predicted this and really like being right once again. Your job is to take note of our predictions and invest in this market. There is no other way to say it - Buy Soviet Silver and Gold Jewelry.

By the way here are our previous reports, just in case you would like to do further research on this subject:

Now lets analyze the market itself. It all started in March and by early April the Soviet Silver prices reached an all time high, selling not just above $200 dollars per item but going as high as $700 for the more exquisite and rare items. This is unheard of for Soviet silver, for eBay and for the market. We are now talking about prices that are close to those that are set by top auction houses like Sotheby's. The second most interesting fact is the sheer number of sales that took place during these two months. It wasn't just one or two "oddball" cases, it was market-wide! Keep in mind that what we are showing you here in this report is only a small fraction of what was actually sold on eBay alone, not to mention countless other on and off-line auctions around the world.

Perhaps the most exiting thing is, that this is just the beginning. We know, we say this almost in every report now, but it happens to be true. As you can see we keep our hand on the pulse of the Soviet jewellery market and our continuous analysis indicates that this "mini-boom" on USSR silver is just the tip of the iceberg. There is much more growth to come - there is much more money to be made! We are clearly seeing an ever growing interest in this market and we know for sure that there are millions of people (yes millions) that would be interested but still have't learned about this market. We are working hard to change that - and it is working! Also from the study of how other jewelry and art markets developed in the past, we see that Soviet gold and silver jewellery market still has a lot of room to grow.

Many of our experts anticipate that current prices on Soviet jewelry, even those that are above average, will quadruple in the years to come. Remember, this is a fixed supply market, there will never be more Soviet jewelry made. At the same time the interest from the general public is only increasing. Competition is increasing. All of this is bound to make Soviet gold and silver jewelry very lucrative for collectors and investors - but you have to purchase these items early while there are no fakes on the market and while the prices are still relatively low.

Lastly we would like to point out some interesting things about the sales you are seeing in this report. Notice the following: Almost all sales took place in New York, United States, not Russian or elsewhere. Note how many bids were made for each item, most were in the range of 10-25 and some reached as high as 44 bids! This indicates competition and demand for rare Soviet silver jewelry, and the more unique the items are the more the buyers are willing to pay for them. Needless to add that the sellers have good eBay reputation and feedback along with massive amounts of sales behind them. This is a very good indicator for each sale show here and for the market at large.

BUYERS ALERT - SOVIET 18k WHITE GOLD BROOCH WITH DIAMONDS EMERALDS & OUR HALLMARK ID CERTIFICATE IS NOW BEING SOLD FOR £3,000 AT LIVEAUCTIONEERS - With Christie's provenance!

7/9/2014

0 Comments

Originally Purchased on
Christie's in 1997 for $3,463

We would like to inform our clients, readers and flowers that right now a very unique Soviet 18K White Gold Brooch with Diamonds and Emeralds is being sold at an online auction called "LiveAuctioneers". Above that, it has our Hallmark ID Certificate which outlines all aspects of this highly valuable item.

Needless to say that this brooch is very rare. It was made by Moscow's leading jewelry factory "Uvelirprom" which specialized in custom and experimental jewellery. Their designs were unique and most items were produced in single or limited copies - and were purchased primarily by the USSR's upper class. On top of that WHITE 18K or 750 GOLD jewellery was very rare in the Soviet Union, let alone now. Only a had full of these items survived & almost all are located in private collections.

christies.com/lotfinder/lot/an-emerald-and-diamond-brooch-517580-details.aspx?intobjectid=517580

" Soviet brooch made in 1980, Uvelirprom Jewellery Factory, Moscow. Of circular form set with 15 square-cut emeralds and 76 pear-cut and circular-cut diamonds in an openwork scroll and foliate design, mounted in 18ct yellow and white gold. The back is hallmarked with the purity, the government inspection stamp and the maker's mark.

As Soviet jewellers mostly worked with 14ct gold, this 18ct brooch is very rare, as 18ct gold didn't become widely used until after the collapse of USSR. Furthermore, this is a very elegant piece, whereas most Soviet jewellery was far from refined. This brooch comes with an electronic certificate confirming the origins of its marks, and the certificate has been entered into a database from which it can be retrieved in the future.

The "Ю" was the maker's mark of Uvelirprom Jewellery Factory, which, founded in 1926, is the oldest jewellery factory in Russia, specialising mainly in diamond jewellery.

Provenance: Christie's, Amsterdam
