Jewellery Care and Insurance
Jewellery lasts longer when cleaning, storage and insurance match the metal, stone and setting. These guides cover gold jewellery, diamond rings, engagement rings, storage and Australian insurance basics.
Start with the material before choosing a cleaning method. Diamond and gold are forgiving, but pearls, opals, emeralds, glued settings and plated surfaces need gentler habits.
Before you clean jewellery at home
If a stone moves, a claw looks bent, or the piece includes a delicate gemstone, skip the home clean and have it checked first. Cleaning should not be used to test whether a setting is secure.
