  • Hallmarking was not mandatory in the Uk until 1973. Therefore, many Antique and Vintage rings are unhallmaked, some have simple markings to describe what they are made of eg. 18ct for 18 carat gold. However, this is not an official hallmark, which are specific stamps provided by an Assay Office.

    Under UK law, items that are not hallmarked are not allowed to be described as gold, silver, platinum or palladium, regardless of whether they are actually made of that material and are marked as being such.

    We only sell fine jewellery so white metal will always be platinum or high carat white gold. We do not sell silver jewellery.

  • Antique is anything over 100 years old. Vintage is anything between 20 and 100 years old and Modern was made in the last 20 years.

    It is often not possible to exactly date a ring. We are very careful not to call a ring Antique unless we are very certain that it is over 100 years old.

    Do remember that our modern rings are pre-loved unless otherwise stated.

  • Yes! Our rings have or will, be around for decades, they are just passing through Jean Alexandra on their journey. Therefore we don’t brand our ring boxes as it should be all about the ring. The outer mailer boxes are unbranded as well to ensure surprises stay that way.
