Assay Office Stamping

Each piece of jewelry found on our website is individually hallmarked at the national Assay Office in Dublin Castle. The stamping is our guarantee of quality. Each piece undergoes stringent testing. If the jewelry does not meet the Assay Office high standards, the piece is scrapped. The hallmark has been used in Ireland since 1637. When you buy a piece of Irish made jewelry look for the hallmark and you will know you are getting the very best quality.

The image to the right explains the significance of each section of an assay stamping. Below you will find the actual stampings for the different types of metals.
