Certificate of Authenticity
At Andrew McCulloch Jewellers, we believe every piece of jewellery should be accompanied by clear and accurate information. Our Certificate of Authenticity provides a permanent record of your jewellery and confirms its principal characteristics at the time it is supplied. It is designed to give you confidence in your purchase and serves as a valuable record for future reference.
Andrew McCulloch Jewellers Certificate of Authenticity
We normally provide an Andrew McCulloch Jewellers Certificate of Authenticity with all bespoke jewellery created by our workshop. As every bespoke piece is individually designed and crafted, the certificate records the key details of the finished jewellery. For selected ready-to-wear items, a Certificate of Authenticity may also be provided upon request where appropriate.
What Information Is Included?
Depending on the jewellery, our Certificate of Authenticity may include the jewellery description, precious metal, hallmark information, gemstone details, diamond specifications where applicable, ring size, total gemstone weight, certificate number, date of issue and, where appropriate, a photograph of the finished piece.
Independent Diamond Certification
Some diamonds are accompanied by an independent grading report from recognised gemmological laboratories such as GIA, IGI or HRD. These reports provide an independent assessment of a diamond's characteristics, including its cut, colour, clarity and carat weight. Where an independent laboratory grading report is included, this will be clearly stated in the product description and supplied with your jewellery.
Why Aren't All Diamonds or Gemstones Certified?
Not every diamond or coloured gemstone is individually certified. Smaller diamonds, accent stones and many coloured gemstones are commonly supplied without an independent laboratory grading report. This is standard practice throughout the jewellery industry and does not indicate a lower standard of quality. Where an independent certificate is not supplied, customers purchasing bespoke jewellery will normally receive our Certificate of Authenticity, and customers purchasing other jewellery may request one where appropriate.
What Our Certificate Confirms
Our Certificate of Authenticity confirms the details of your jewellery as supplied by Andrew McCulloch Jewellers. It provides a record of the item's principal characteristics but should not be confused with an independent laboratory grading report or an insurance valuation.
Lost Your Certificate?
If you have misplaced your Andrew McCulloch Jewellers Certificate of Authenticity, please contact our team. Where our records allow, we may be able to issue a replacement certificate following verification of the original purchase.
