Each piece of Lily Arkwright jewellery has been certified in accordance with the Hallmarking act 1973, and will feature an official Assay Office hallmark.

Lily Arkwright jewellery is beautifully crafted in a variety of precious metals such as 9K and 18K white, yellow and rose gold as well as platinum.

When it comes to manufacturing jewellery and silverware, precious metals (silver, palladium, gold and platinum) are rarely used in their purest form. Instead they are usually alloyed with lesser metals to achieve a desired strength, durability, and colour. 

It is not possible to detect the precious metal content of an item by sight or by touch. It is, therefore, a legal requirement to have items consisting of silver, palladium, gold or platinum independently tested and then hallmarked before they can be described as such. Items must bear a hallmark at point of sale, subject to the following weight exemptions:

Silver: mandatory for items above 7.78 grams; gold: mandatory for items above 1 gram; palladium: mandatory for items above 1 gram; platinum: mandatory for items above 0.5 grams.

Lily Arkwright is registered with the Sheffield Assay Office ,ensuring our precious metal jewellery is compliant with the UK’s hallmarking regulations. All stock is subject to an internal confirmation process to ensure it meets the UK’s hallmarking regulations before it is dispatched to our customers.

We are an Assay Assured Jewellery Retailer. Assay Assured status is only given to retailers who have been independently audited and verified by Assay Assured which is run and overseen by the Edinburgh Assay Office, and ensures that all precious metal jewellery (except items exempt by weight) are independently tested and hallmarked.

You will receive an automated email confirmation upon dispatch, including your tracking number. Your parcel is fully insured for the value of your purchase, please check and sign your package upon arrival.

Lab created diamonds are identical to natural diamonds, displaying the exact physical, chemical and optical properties as those formed within the Earth’s crust to exhibit the same fire, brilliance and sparkle as mined diamonds. Therefore, it is impossible to distinguish between lab diamonds and natural diamonds with the naked eye. Man made diamonds are grown under controlled laboratory conditions, using cutting edge technology to replicate the natural conditions in which diamonds are formed within the Earth’s crust. These highly controlled conditions mean that lad diamonds hold no impurities, flaws or defects which can be acquired during formation of natural diamonds, resulting in enhanced purity, brightness and whiteness compared to their mined equivalent. Lab grown diamonds provide a conflict free, sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to natural diamonds. Each of our lab diamond engagement rings feature a guaranteed record of how and where each diamond is produced, offering full transparency and traceability for your peace of mind. In addition to this, each lab created diamond has an IGI or GCAL certification to verify its exceptional quality and to provide you with the confidence that your lab diamond has been expertly crafted. Lily Arkwright offer a beautiful collection of lab grown diamond engagement rings showcased in a variety of stunning mounts and available in your choice of expertly crafted 18k white, yellow and rose gold or platinum bands.

Moissanite, chemically known as Silicon Carbide, was first discovered within a 50,000 year old meteorite crater. Extremely rare in nature, the majority of moissanite gemstones formed today are lab grown. It can take up to three months to develop a single moissanite gemstone, grown by imitating the conditions required for natural moissanites to form within a highly controlled laboratory setting. A diamond simulant, moissanite appears almost indistinguishable from diamonds, however, does not possess the same chemical or physical properties as its rival gemstone. Moissanite is a unique gemstone, beholding its own distinctive properties that display unrivalled fire and brilliance, as well as exceptional durability, rating second only to diamonds on the Moh’s hardness scale.Moissanite costs significantly less than diamonds, offering outstanding luxury at an affordable price, as well as noteworthy ethical and sustainable origins. Lily Arkwright offer an extensive collection of moissanite engagement rings meticulously set in a variety of beautiful mounts and available in your choice of stunning 18k white, yellow and rose gold or platinum bands which can be viewed here. Alternatively, if you would like to learn more about moissanite centre stones please see Our Guide to Moissanite."

Chatham are the pioneer and world leader of lab grown gemstones. Lab grown gemstones are physically, optically and chemically identical to their mined alternatives, the only difference being that these gemstones are formed above ground, through duplicating the environment in which gemstones grow within the Earth. Chatham are renowned for their superior quality, developed over their 80 years of experience and through strict quality control procedures. Chatham lab gemstones are sustainably and ethically produced to perfection, for a fraction of the price of their mined counterparts.

White gold and platinum are two of the most popular precious metals chosen for fine jewellery. Similar in colour, both make beautiful choices to enhance your gemstones dazzling sparkle, yet each offer individual benefits to their wearer. Both 18k white gold and platinum are suitable for everyday wear, however, platinum is incredibly durable with guaranteed longevity requiring minimal maintenance compared to white gold which needs replating every two to four years. This is due to the erosion of white gold’s plating through everyday wear and tear to reveal the natural yellow tones underneath, as pure gold is alloyed with other metals, such as silver and palladium, to increase its durability. At Lily Arkwright, the majority of our gold rings are set in 18k gold, which is equivalent to 75% purity, compared to our platinum 950 bands which are 95% pure platinum. Platinum carries a lovely weight, slightly heavier than gold. However, white gold holds a lightness that can be viewed as more comfortable depending on the individual preferences of the wearer. Overall, platinum is often considered to be more luxurious than white gold, which when considered alongside its rarity, results in a higher price. At Lily Arkwright we use only the highest quality assay hallmarked precious metals, which you can discover more in our Trust Us; We're Assay Assured and a Member of the National Association of Jewellers.

Our standard Charles & Colvard Forever One brilliant round and hearts & arrows stones have identical colour & clarity ratings, the difference between the two being that hearts & arrows cut contains 58 precisely cut facets which produce 8 arrows seen through the crown of the stone and 8 perfectly proportional hearts when viewed from underneath, which is a marker of a well cut diamond. On the other hand, brilliant round stones are cut to maximise brilliance, fire and dazzling sparkle. Therefore, if you want your moissanite gemstone to resemble a diamond in sparkle and appearance, hearts and arrows cut is the ideal choice. To learn more about Hearts & Arrows cut click here.All standard rings are available in hearts and arrows cut, simply select hearts and arrows before check out. If you would like a hearts and arrows cut moissanite in an unlisted design please contact us at hello@lilyarkwright.com or call 0161 537 6773 for a no obligation quotation.

None of our fine jewellery features Lily Arkwright branding. We do however hallmark all our jewellery in line with UK regulations. Each hallmark includes a sponsor mark, fineness mark and assay office mark, indicating the piece’s creator, precious metal content, place & year the jewellery was hallmarked. This hallmark isn’t visible when worn, engraved in extremely small text on the inside of the ring’s band.

Your fine jewellery is both physically and emotionally precious, therefore requires the appropriate love and attention to maintain its beauty for the lifetime of its owner.

This plastic multisize ring gauge acts like a belt, placed over the finger and adjusted to fit like a ring, to indicate your ring size for a perfect fit. If you’re planning a surprise engagement and you don’t know your partner's ring size, first speak with your partners family and friends to see they know. If not, place a ring they currently wear on your hand and mark exactly where it fits on your finger, then use your free ring sizer to measure round this mark. It is extremely important to us that your ring is a perfect fit, therefore, if for any reason your Lily Arkwright engagement ring isn’t a perfect fit we offer a complimentary one time ring resize within 30 days of receiving your order.

Stone size is entirely personal choice, completely individual to the wearer. Typically, 6.5mm (1ct) centre stone to 7.5mm (1.5ct) tends to be the most popular choice for a brilliant round cut, however, popularity doesn’t mean this size is right for you. The proportions of the stone in proportion to the measurements of your own hand, budget, chosen setting and cut, personal style and lifestyle should be considered when selecting your ideal stone size.
