Australia is a great place to shop if you’re looking for something to add to your jewellery collection. The country produces precious resources such as gold, diamonds, opals and pearls. Naturally Sydney is a great place to look for the best pieces being home to some of the world’s best artisans and jewellery houses.
Before shopping for jewellery it would be a good idea if you visit the website of the Jewellers Association of Australia where you can find lots of informative articles. They have individual guides to buying cultured pearls, opal, gold jewellery, couloured gemstones and diamonds. You will also find tips on caring for the jewelery you buy as well as questions you should ask to help you choose a jeweller. You can also search their website for a list of local jewellers. You will need to enter the post code though so do find out the post code of the hotel you are staying to be able to research the nearest JAA jeweller. Sydney post codes start from 1001 to 2891.
One of the best things about shopping for diamonds in
Australia though is that you can be sure that the diamond you buy is not a conflict
diamond. All diamonds bought in Australia are Kimberly diamonds so you won’t have to worry about ethical dilemmas and just have fun shopping and flashing your diamonds when you get home.
