When comparing the value of custom jewelry and finished products, several factors need to be considered, including quality, rarity, market demand, and brand value.

Custom Jewelry Value Preservation
1. Quality and Rarity: Custom jewelry allows for high-quality gems and metals, providing unique, valuable pieces. When using rare materials, custom jewelry is more likely to retain or increase in value.
2. Market Demand: Custom jewelry’s market may be more limited due to its personalized nature. However, if the design is high quality and trendy, demand and value preservation can increase.
3. Brand Added Value: Custom jewelry typically doesn’t rely on brand value but focuses on material and craftsmanship. However, well-known custom jewelers may add some brand premium.

Counter Product Value Preservation
1. Brand Added Value: Finished jewelry often has high brand value. Established brands enhance product value with their reputation, craftsmanship, and after-sales service.
2. Market Demand and Liquidity: Finished jewelry tends to have greater market demand and liquidity. It is easier to sell or trade, especially in the second-hand market.
3. Quality Assurance: Finished jewelry undergoes strict quality control, ensuring reliability and added value.
