How can I tell if a gemstone or diamond is real?
Authenticity and quality are at the heart of every piece at Humbertown Jewellers. Every diamond and coloured gemstone we offer is authentically sourced and certified by respected laboratories such as the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or GRS (GemResearch Swisslab). Our jewellers can walk you through each grading report, explaining clarity, cut, colour, and carat weight in clear, approachable terms. You’re also welcome to view stones under magnification in-store to appreciate their natural beauty and craftsmanship firsthand. We stand by the authenticity and provenance of every piece we offer, ensuring complete confidence in your purchase.
What questions should I ask about craftsmanship or origin?
The artistry behind fine jewellery is just as important as its appearance. Humbertown Jewellers proudly features finely crafted designs from a curated selection of design boutiques. We place strong emphasis on responsibly sourced materials, ensuring that every creation aligns with the highest ethical and environmental standards. Our experts can also explain setting styles and techniques, helping you understand what makes each piece both durable and unique—qualities that elevate a piece from beautiful to extraordinary.
Are there hallmarks or stamps that show metal purity?
Yes—authentic high and fine jewellery is always marked with official hallmarks or purity stamps. All high and fine jewellery at Humbertown Jewellers bears clear markings such as 18K or PT950, verifying the quality and composition of the metal. Our team can show you exactly where to find these markings and explain what they represent, so you can better understand the inherent value and craftsmanship of your piece.
What kind of aftercare or maintenance does jewellery need?
Because high and fine jewellery pieces are designed to last a lifetime, they deserves a little care along the way. We invite clients to bring their pieces to Humbertown Jewellers for professional cleaning and inspection, typically once a year. Our in-house specialists can advise on safe storage and everyday care to preserve brilliance and longevity. We also offer cleaning and inspection services, ensuring that stones remain secure and settings stay pristine. Over time, our experts can assist with re-polishing or restoration, helping your jewellery maintain its original lustre
.This holiday season, give a gift that tells a story of beauty, meaning, and craftsmanship. At Humbertown Jewellers, we’re honoured to help you find that perfect piece, one that captures the spirit of the season and the timelessness of your affection.
