Irish Hallmarks

eIrish.comhas for many decades worked very closely the the finest jewelry craftsman in Ireland. Every piece of jewelry is crafted with individual attention. All jewelry crafted in Ireland is individually hallmarked at the national Assay Office in Dublin Castle. This unique 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. The hallmark includes indications of makers mark, precious metal type, date, and assay office mark. 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.

The assay office has been run for centuries by The company of Goldsmiths of Dublin, Assay Office, Dublin Castle, Dublin 2.
