Authenticity & Hallmarks
The Mark of Quality: Understanding Our Hallmarks
At JULE, transparency and quality are everything to us. We want you to wear your ear stacks with absolute confidence, which is why our 925/1000 sterling silver pieces bear official markings. These tiny stamps are your ultimate guarantee of quality.
What do these engravings mean?
-
The State Hallmark: An official stamp from the national Assay Office. It serves as an independent, legal guarantee of the precious metal's true quality.
-
The Purity Mark: Usually marked as "925", this number confirms the exact proportion of pure silver used in your jewelry.
-
The Responsibility Mark: This unique symbol ensures full traceability. It identifies the registered maker or brand and proves that we stand proudly behind our craftsmanship.
Where to find them?
- Because our piercing pieces are delicate and highly detailed, finding space for these mandatory stamps can be tricky. As a result, you will often find these tiny engravings placed directly on the earring post (the part that goes through your ear).
- Because the physical hallmarking process requires applying pressure to such a tiny surface, you might notice that the post has slight indentations, texture variations, or appears ever so slightly curved where the three marks meet. Please rest assured this is not a defect or damage—it is the natural, physical proof that your piece has been officially tested and certified.
- While these marks and slight variations are visible when you hold the jewelry in your hands, they remain completely hidden once the piercing is comfortably worn. Think of them as a tiny, hidden promise of exceptional quality!
To give you absolute certainty about what you are wearing, our silver jewelry is strictly inspected and officially marked by an independent government body, the Czech Assay Office (Puncovní úřad).
In addition to the standard "925" purity stamp and our registered responsibility mark, our pieces carry the official Czech state hallmark for silver, which features the motif of a chamois head with the number 2.
For your peace of mind, you can find the complete official table of Czech state hallmarks for silver below, so you always know exactly how your jewelry is verified.
