Your Jewellery Questions Answered
1. How do I measure my ring size?
For help finding your ring size, please click here to visit our guide to measuring your ring size.
Vermeil is a combination of Sterling Silver with a layer of gold on top. To be considered vermeil, the gold must be at least 9 carat and be at least 1.5 micrometres thick.
3. Are Astley Clarke diamonds from traceable sources?
Astley Clarke diamonds are from traceable sources and adhere to the strict guidelines outlined in the Kimberley Process.
The Kimberley Process, adopted in 2002, regulates 99% of the rough diamond trade
worldwide, through a system of import/export controls that prevents conflict diamonds
from entering the legitimate supply chain. Key industry representatives, including JA,
worked with governments and human rights groups (often called non-governmental
organizations, or NGOs) around the world to bring about this solution to the conflict
diamond problem. KP is supported and mandated by the United Nations. Today, 69
participating nations and the worldwide diamond industry uphold KP regulations, along
with help from NGOs.
How KP Works
Each of the KP countries is legally bound to export all shipments of rough diamonds in a
tamper-resistant, sealed container, along with a government-validated Kimberley Process
certificate that includes a list of its contents. No uncertified shipments of rough
diamonds are permitted to enter any KP country.
Please speak to our personal shoppers if you have any concerns regarding the source of a diamond or gemstone.
