Jewelry, silver seen as 'safe haven' for investors

Prices in the arts and antiques market continue to rise with silver and jewellery leading the way, while contemporary art came back into favour following a year of price falls, says the latest survey from the U.K.'s RICS (Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors). For lots over £50k, the top bracket, 17% more surveyors recorded rising rather than falling prices. In contrast the balance was only 9% for contemporary art, indicating that traditional pieces remain more popular for large investors.
