Materials

What is your jewellery made of?

Our jewellery is made of sterling silver, 18 carat gold, rose gold or white gold vermeil. All pearls are real, cultured, freshwater pearls and all stones are real gemstones, unless otherwise stated. Your can read more about our materials here.

What is vermeil?

When we use gold in our jewellery, it is 18 carat gold vermeil. Vermeil is an ancient French metalwork technique. With vermeil, a very thick coating of gold - many times the thickness of regular gold plate - is applied to another precious metal, in this case sterling silver. Vermeil jewellery differs from plated jewellery because the piece is made wholly of precious metal and because of the high carat and quantity of gold used.

 

Like most modern jewellers we use vermeil in our jewellery to give us flexibility in our designs and to allow us to make precious pieces using high quality materials which are still affordable. Gold is a soft metal. Vermeil gives it strength. The gold price is currently over £1300 an ounce. Some of our lockets use more than an ounce of precious metal. Vermeil ensures our jewellery remains both high quality, durably and affordable.

What is a hallmark?

The official hallmark on your Lily Blanche jewellery is your guarantee of quality and authenticity. The Lily Blanche hallmark has been created for us by the Edinburgh Assay Office using the world-famous castle mark. Each hallmark tells the story of the jewellery through a series of icons:

 

* The letters are our unique maker’s mark. Only items from our company will be marked with these letters in this shape.

* The numbers tell of the metals purity.

* The Scottish lion rampant is the traditional fineness mark

* The castle identifies the city of Edinburgh in which the piece is hallmarked.

* The letter represents the year in which the piece was tested and marked. This changes every twelve months.

Is Lily Blanche jewellery hallmarked?

All of our Lily Blanche Lockets are hallmarked by the Edinburgh Assay Office. The Assay Office primarily tests and hallmarks precious metal. Edinburgh Assay office has been hallmarking precious metal items since 1457 You can read more about our hallmark here.

I have a question that is not on the list. Can you answer it?
