A HALLMARK IS YOUR GUARANTEE.

Since the 1400's, the official Edinburgh Assay Office (EAO) has been testing and hallmarking precious metals to ensure their fineness and quality. Every Jewlr piece is carefully inspected by the EAO to guarantee our customers are getting nothing but the very best.

WHAT ARE HALLMARKS?

Hallmarks are a series of marks stamped on jewellery and other items made of precious metals. Hallmarks can only be applied by an independent Government authorised Assay Office. The Assay Office must test each item before applying the Hallmark. A Hallmark guarantees the precious metal content of the alloy used to make the jewellery in question. In the UK, Hallmarking has taken place since the 1300s.

At Jewlr, we take pride in the quality and craftsmanship of our jewellery, and want our customers to rest assured that their personalised jewellery is made using only the finest materials.

THE REASON FOR USING HALLMARKS

Gold and sterling silver are two of the most popular precious metals used to make jewellery. In their purest form these metals are too soft and must be mixed with other metals, known as alloys, for added strength and durability. This ensures that the jewellery will be able to hold its shape and withstand a lifetime of wear. A Hallmark guarantees that the percentage of precious metal within the alloy is as advertised.

Due to the high cost and value of these precious metals, hallmarking is a legal requirement in the UK for precious metals over a certain weight.

The Testing Process

When an item is received by a UK assay office, it will undergo three processes to test the purity of the metal:

SAMPLING

Traditionally, this process is done by removing a very tiny piece of the metal to be tested. Today, sampling is usually performed in a non-invasive manner using an X-Ray Fluorescence Spectrometry machine, so that none of the metal is removed for testing.

ASSAYING

The process of testing the jewellery to determine whether the percentage of precious metal within the alloy meets the required standard.

HALLMARKING

The process of applying the appropriate marks to the item tested.

HALLMARKS - WHAT TO LOOK FOR

The hallmarks will be stamped on an inconspicuous location on all Jewlr jewellery, and will not be visible when worn. The hallmark consists of at least three compulsory parts:

The Sponsor's Mark - This mark is a unique mark identifying the maker or sponsor who has sent the items to be hallmarked.

The Fineness Mark - denotes the fineness of the metal. The purity of the precious metal content is recorded in parts per 1000. For example, 14 carat gold jewellery must contain 585 parts per 1000 of pure gold. Gold jewellery meeting this standard will be marked with 585 to denote 14 carat.

The Assay Office Mark - indicates which UK Assay Office tested and marked the item.

Jewellery has been an integral part of fashion, life and love since before the middle ages. In today's modern society, the Internet has changed the way we live our lives. Whether it is the way we communicate at work, keep in touch with friends and family, or how we shop for goods and services, the online experience has enriched our lives. In 2009 a team of internet entrepreneurs decided that it was time to take the jewellery shopping experience to the next level by using the latest advancements in manufacturing and web technology to create a totally new way of buying and creating jewellery.

Our goal was to create an extraordinary online experience that gave shoppers the unique ability to create and visualize, in real time, rings, pendants, charms, and earrings, personalised to their exact requirements. Every style would be available in multiple metals, and every stone could be chosen from a wide selection of diamonds, birthstones, gemstones and Swarovksi Zirconia. Additionally, we would use laser engraving techniques to engrave names, messages, dates and other sentimental expressions to every item, to complete the personalised experience. Finally, the custom items would be manufactured in North America, in just a few days, and shipped directly to customers.

We recognized that to succeed we had to create unique designs, offer items that were value priced, have a no hassle return policy and we had to provide superb personalised customer support.

Since our humble beginnings we have grown to be one of the largest online Jeweler. We have tens of thousands of happy customers and we have delivered on our goal to provide an exceptional Jewellery shopping experience. Every Jewlr item is packaged in our signature Jewlr box and packaging. We offer fast Free Delivery to our customers in North America, Europe and Australia and a no risk, no stress policy that allows returns up to 99 days after delivery.

Every item comes with a stunning free gift as a small token of our appreciation.
