What should a family record before valuable jewellery moves between homes and venues?

Direct answer

Record which items move, their condition, who hands them over and who becomes responsible for them at each transfer.

Use identifiable photographs and a private inventory, including receipts or report numbers where available. Agree collection and return arrangements before the event and avoid passing valuables through unnamed helpers. Keep documents separate from public wedding updates. An inventory improves accountability but does not replace secure handling, suitable cover or the owner's approval of where the jewellery will be kept.
