- [The World’s Most Famous Lost Diamonds, And the Mysteries Behind Them](https://www.dcla.com.au/news/the-worlds-most-famous-lost-diamonds-and-the-mysteries-behind-them/) - Diamonds can survive for billions of years. Their stories, however, can sometimes disappear for generations. Some diamonds become famous because of their extraordinary size, colour or quality. Others achieve legendary status because of the remarkable people who owned them kings, queens, emperors, wealthy families and, occasionally, thieves. But there is another category of famous diamond:
- [Selling Jewellery: How to Make the Right Decision When Sentiment and Value Collide](https://www.dcla.com.au/news/selling-jewellery-how-to-make-the-right-decision-when-sentiment-and-value-collide/) - Selling a piece of jewellery is rarely just a financial decision. Whether you are selling because of a divorce, upgrading to something new, financial pressures, or dividing an estate, jewellery can carry memories, family history and enormous sentimental value. This can make the decision emotionally difficult, particularly when you are unsure what the jewellery is actually worth or how to go about selling it. The most important advice is simple: do not rush.
- [Can Diamonds Be Damaged? Understanding Chips, Abrasions, Burns and Diamond Repairs](https://www.dcla.com.au/news/can-diamonds-be-damaged-understanding-chips-abrasions-burns-and-diamond-repairs/) - A diamond can resist being scratched while still being capable of chipping, fracturing, cleaving or breaking if it receives the wrong type of impact. As DCLA explains, diamonds are among the hardest materials on Earth, but they are not indestructible. Their crystal structure contains planes of weakness, and the way a diamond is cut can also influence how vulnerable particular areas are to damage.

The metal that holds your diamonds and gemstones is often the part that receives the most punishment, particularly when jewellery is worn every day.
- [Fancy Colour Diamonds, From Hollywood Statement to the Ultimate Collectable](https://www.dcla.com.au/news/fancy-colour-diamonds-from-hollywood-statement-to-the-ultimate-collectable/) - For generations, the traditional diamond engagement ring has been dominated by the classic colourless stone. But the world of exceptional diamonds is changing. Increasingly, collectors, celebrities and high jewellery connoisseurs are turning towards something far rarer and far more individual: natural fancy colour diamonds.
- [Why Is My Jewellery Giving Me an Allergic Reaction?](https://www.dcla.com.au/news/why-is-my-jewellery-giving-me-an-allergic-reaction/) - Jewellery is meant to be worn, enjoyed and treasured. But for some people, wearing a ring, necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings can result in redness, itching, irritation or even a rash. When this happens, many people immediately assume they are allergic to gold, silver or another precious metal. That is not always the case.
- [The Art of Negotiating When Buying Jewellery](https://www.dcla.com.au/news/the-art-of-negotiating-when-buying-jewellery/) - Buying fine jewellery should be an enjoyable experience. But when you are spending thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, it also pays to understand how the jewellery business works and how to negotiate intelligently.
- [Best Place to Buy Diamonds in Australia: Knowledge, Experience and Confidence](https://www.dcla.com.au/news/best-place-to-buy-diamonds-in-australia-knowledge-experience-and-confidence/) - One of the most important questions a diamond buyer should ask is: Who graded the diamond? A grading report should come from an independent laboratory rather than simply being an in-house document produced by the person selling the diamond.
- [Should You Upgrade Your Engagement Diamond?](https://www.dcla.com.au/news/should-you-upgrade-your-engagement-diamond/) - Perhaps the couple’s financial position has improved significantly. Perhaps the original diamond was chosen when money was tighter, and she has always secretly dreamed of a larger stone or a completely different diamond shape. Or perhaps jewellery styles have changed and the original setting no longer reflects her personal taste. This raises an interesting question: Should you upgrade an engagement diamond, or is the original stone too sentimental to replace?
- [The Diamond Market Has Changed, Could This Be the Time to Buy?](https://www.dcla.com.au/news/the-diamond-market-has-changed-could-this-be-the-time-to-buy/) - The diamond market is going through one of the most significant periods of change in recent decades. A combination of economic pressures, changing consumer behaviour, increased competition from laboratory-grown diamonds and a prolonged correction in diamond prices has created opportunities for buyers that would have been difficult to imagine only a few years ago. For consumers, this raises an important question:
- [When Celebrities Create Jewellery Icons: How Famous Faces Can Build a Jewellery Brand Around a Stone, Shape or Design](https://www.dcla.com.au/news/when-celebrities-create-jewellery-icons-how-famous-faces-can-build-a-jewellery-brand-around-a-stone-shape-or-design/) - From Celebrity Style to Jewellery Legacy Jewellery has always been more than an accessory.
