The research, which was conducted by
Vashi Dominguez, founder of the jewellery brand Vashi.com, has revealed
that the typical value of a woman's jewellery increases by 2,000 pounds
every 10 years as they reach middle age.
By the time she reaches 50, her jewellery is worth 8,000 pounds, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The collection generally includes up to 150 pieces with the most expensive item normally an engagement ring worth 3,000 pounds.
The
study also shows that only 33 percent of the jewellery is regularly
worn. The remaining two-thirds are left neglected in a jewellery box
because just nine percent of women sell or remodel unwanted pieces.
"Many
women don't realize their jewellery box is such a valuable treasure
trove. These findings prove the continual popularity of jewellery. No
matter her age, women love the feeling new jewellery gives them," said
Dominguez.
"They are consistently adding to their collections
through their 30s and 40s. Women see fine jewellery as an investment
they can enjoy for life. Many affluent 50-year-olds are sitting on
jewellery collections worth more than 40,000 pounds - far more than the
average annual wage," added Dominguez.
