A wonderful article from 1935 on the price fluctuations of precious gems. Emerald, ruby, saphire, diamond, etc. About 5 pages long.

Supply and Demand and fashion....

I concluded from this that a limited and selective buying of gems may be useful, but they are in no way a subsitute for precious metals before and during a crisis.

In some cases, they may be useful if bought cheaply after a crisis.
