The paintings look awkward and shouldn't command such high amount. As for the jewellery I think it's a little overpriced.

I am not saving in dollars,I invest in dollars and rands for now , there is difference between saving and investing but if you only want to save, better get a dollar bank account from any of the national banks in nigeria , but if you want to invest, buy stocks of foreign companies and invest in mutual funds as well.there are also fixed income investments that can guarantee you at least 7% return on equity in dollars annually if you invest with them,there are alot of apps/channels to do so,I am not promoting/recommending any,Google is your friend.
