They may be made of precious metals, precious stones or everyday materials, like paper or clay. They can be stone, metal or even liquid. Some are ancient, and others are the work of living artists.

What Our Clients are Saying
Jane Turvey
I have been a customer of Chelsea Insurance since 2017 with the insurance of my partners engagement ring. This was simple process with great communication skills and a fantastic price. Each year the price has reduced and the service has never faltered. I have now included both of our wedding rings, and my partners diamond earrings to the policy and the price remains incredible and the service is one of the best I have ever received. I would never move from Chelsea insurance and would highly recommend this service to anyone.
