Protecting yourself and your jewellery
Thoughtful storage and good records help you look after the jewellery you own. Start with a clear inventory and a practical plan for the pieces you wear and those you store.
Keep a private inventory
Keep clear photographs, receipts, appraisal reports and identifying numbers together. Store copies securely and separately from the jewellery. Avoid sharing identifying documents publicly.
Store securely
Avoid leaving jewellery in plain sight or in an unattended vehicle. Ask a qualified security provider about suitable secure storage for valuable pieces.
Plan before travelling
Consider which pieces you need to bring and where they will be kept. Avoid displaying valuables or sharing their location publicly.
Review your documentation
Ask your insurer what records and appraisal dates it needs, and what your policy covers. HWL can discuss an appraisal or update for your jewellery.
