Silver tableware an investment for years to come
Maybe its purchase is a superfluity and whim of people with a rich wallet, but the truth is that silver tableware is a huge family asset for years to come. It is no exaggeration to say that precious metals have always been a good direction in diversifying one’s portfolio.
How you go about it is a matter of the amount you want to invest on wares that will last for generations. Whether it will be individual silver cutlery, coffee and tea sets, or perhaps decorative platters is up to you.
Perhaps according to young people, silver tableware is superfluous, history and nothing fashionable. However, with our experience, we know that it is these wares that are in demand today for the whole family. And it is the youngest part of the generation that will care for and hold silverware for their children.
Silver tableware as one of the many investment offerings on the market
Alternative investments today include an extremely wide range of products and services. Surely you have heard about the possibility of investing in gold, silver, diamonds or other precious stones. On top of that, each of us can put our hard-earned money into philately, coins, or limited first editions of products from well-known brands.
In an era when the market is flooded with all sorts of investment offers, we need good advice. Because how do I know if it’s worth it to go into art, alcohol, funds or maybe risk star up financing?
As the market is long and wide, there are so many offers. When someone tells me that by buying a particular painting – my annual profit rate will be 15% I can only laugh. After all, I know that thisfortune telling. The greatest mentors of investing agree on one important thing – don’t step into deep water with two feet.
No less than that, diversify your portfolio. Invest a little in gold, silver, currency, real estate, and if you want less tangible products like exchange-traded funds – that’s your choice. However, never risk all your money in one particular investment channel, it can get you lost.
Is tableware a good choice for your investment?
Certainly silver is a more chimerical metal than gold. Its luster has dimmed somewhat in recent years, but it’s still doing well. I recently read a nice article in the Financial Review about investing in silver. A very cool, solid description of what categories your future silver investment falls into.
And as with gold, we distinguish between the main silver products, namely: bars, coins, silver medals, granules, and other intangible offerings like funds in silver, or buying stocks. The latter are also an interesting proposition to invest your capital, because silver is still premium product!
The author says investing in cutlery and other tableware items is pointless spending money on scrap that is hard to sell later. I do not agree with this, as there are several levels of value for silver products.
However, antiques made of silver are often sought after and valued investment products. I see a lot of investor demand for antique products mainly from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco movements. People are very interested in history and are willing to spend their savings on collectibles.
On the other hand, new silverware is an exceptional investment for the whole family and future generations. Certainly, when acquiring such a set, we do not think to cash in these family possessions in a year or a few years.
Often our customers order engraving on silverware, on gift For the other person. It can be either initials or a family sign or coat of arms. One thing is for sure, it is a symbol of devotion to the family tradition, by the way, very elegant.
It is a kind of capital for many long years. A witness to important ceremonies, an uplifting product that your family should invest in. So for me, in addition to the value that silver represents as a precious metal, there is another dimension on the other side. A testimony to family ties and multigenerational tradition passing on valuable products to each other.
It is something very tangible and authentic. At any time we can take such silverware out and prepare a wonderful party for the whole family. And in spite of the experts who talk about the superiority of silver bars over its products, I stay with the latter.
Tableware made of silver and its completion – To drink beer you don’t have to buy a whole beer hall
In the plethora of stores offering silver, we can get lost. Of course, the most important thing is that our products should have test marks and a certificate. But there is something more important!
Are you thinking about completing and thinking what your silver tableware will look like? Contrary to appearances, it is not so easy, since the choice of designs and lines is extremely wide. Manufacturers are designing more and more modern, not forgetting the traditional design.
Therefore, in order to complete and skillfully choose what we really want, we need to spend a little more time. I always pay attention for our customers to do this over a longer period of time. Slowly choosing the right items from all the tableware.
To begin with, we can choose cutlery for each member of our family. Silver cutlery for 6 people by Schavion, costs respectively for the 800 sample more than 14,000 zlotys, while for the 925 silver version it is an expense of 16,700 zlotys.
We might as well pick a few products for our table every now and then. As our finances allow us to do so. Many stores offer convenient installments, so we can manage this without a problem, too. Silver tableware should be skillfully purchased over a long period of time.
The most important thing is to assume what we really want to complete and in what direction to go. After cutlery, it is naturally time for silver plates. The product is really unique and uncommon. And here prices depend on the size and weight. Take a look at a sample plate Italian company Schavion from the San Marco collection. I would like to add that it is sterling silver 925
1398 zl – cm. 17 – gr. 154
1927 zl – cm. 20 – gr. 220
3849 zl – cm. 27 – gr. 446
5631 zloty – cm. 30 – gr. 656
6781 zl – cm. 32 – gr. 792
7716 zl – cm. 35 – gr. 902
As you can see, the cost mainly depends on the weight. In the case of a collection, as in this case San Marco, the manufacturer offers other items from the same line, so that everything comes together on the dining table.
The centerpiece of the table is always a vase, a soup bowl. Here we have a product from the collection Ingleseitalian Schavion brand at the following prices
925 silver, cm. 20×15 – weight – gr. 445 – price 4731 zł.
925 silver, weight – cm. 24×18 – weight – gr. 688 – price 7363 zł.
925 silver, weight – cm. 30×24 – weight – gr. 1026 – price 10683 zł.
800 silver, weight – cm. 20×15 – weight – gr. 403 – price 3955 zloty
800 silver, weight – cm. 24×18 – weight – gr. 651 – price 6305 zloty
800 silver, weight – cm. 30×24 – weight – gr. 932 – price 9127 zloty
Tableware made of silver – what else can we complete?
The list is really long and wide. It is worth mentioning silver spice sets for salt, pepper, or oils. We can complete this in one set, but also in individual pieces.
Going further, the dining table also includes silver butter dishes, platters, beautiful silver sugar bowls and finally whole sets for coffee and tea. The latter consist of a tray, sugar bowl, 2 pitchers and a milk jug.
Such a set offered by Schavion from the Inglese collection is an expense in the amount of 12561 zloty for sample 800. For a more pure silver sample 925 we will spend about 15 thousand zlotys.
We can’t forget about silver alcohol coolers, glasses and trays for serving and tasting liquor. Some manufacturers have whole bars of silver in their offer, but this is a separate topic.
There are a lot of products that are in silver tableware that I haven’t listed and that should be on our investment table. However, there is something that makes the entire dining room look really special and majestic. This product is silver candlesticks, which should be matched to the size of the table and the volume of the room.
Silver tableware – long-term investment in silver
Diversifying your portfolio into silver tableware is a good option if you want to allocate adequate funds over the long term. The wide range of products gives incredible satisfaction in creating your own collection.
It is only up to us what form and shape it will take. And also how many elements it will ultimately consist of. Let’s remember one thing – tableware made of silver is not so much great financial investment, is first and foremost a great opportunity to invest in your own family and the next generation.
And that, for me, is the most important factor that I speak directly to our customers about.
