Jewellery Matters – speaking to the experts

When it comes to the items we treasure, jewellery will invariably appear somewhere on the list. From family heirlooms to gifts given to us by loved ones, through to items worn on those truly special occasions – the different types of jewellery we have in our lives can carry great meaning.
