About Jewellery Trade Resources

Jewellery Trade Resources is an independent, UK-based reference platform created to support professionals working across the jewellery, precious metals, and related trades.

The site exists to provide clear, practical, and unbiased information covering trade products, materials, standards, terminology, and best practices. It is designed for professional use and is not positioned as a consumer-facing retail business.

Purpose and Scope

Jewellery Trade Resources was established to address a growing need for accurate, trade-focused information presented without commercial pressure or brand preference. Many areas of the jewellery industry rely on fragmented knowledge, informal guidance, or outdated reference material. This platform aims to bring clarity and consistency to those areas.

Content published on this site is intended to support:

• Jewellers and workshop professionals
• Trade buyers and suppliers
• Manufacturers and fabricators
• Antique and vintage jewellery dealers
• Pawnbrokers and second-hand specialists
• Students and trainees within the jewellery trade

What Jewellery Trade Resources Is Not

To avoid confusion, it is important to clarify what this platform does not do.

• It is not a consumer jewellery retailer
• It does not provide valuations or appraisals
• It does not offer authentication or certification services
• It does not endorse or promote specific brands as partners

Any references to products, materials, or brands are provided strictly for informational or illustrative purposes within a trade context.

Independence and Neutrality

Jewellery Trade Resources operates independently. The site is not owned by, affiliated with, or sponsored by any jewellery manufacturer, brand, or trade organisation unless explicitly stated.

This independence allows information to be presented objectively, without influence from commercial incentives or sales targets.

UK Perspective and Trade Standards

While the platform may reference international practices where relevant, it is informed primarily by UK trade standards, terminology, and regulatory frameworks. This includes, where appropriate, references to hallmarking, material standards, and compliance considerations applicable within the United Kingdom.

Use of Information

All content published on Jewellery Trade Resources is provided for general informational purposes only. Users remain responsible for applying professional judgement, complying with applicable laws and regulations, and seeking specialist advice where required.

The site is designed to complement professional experience, not replace it.
