Disclosure Policy

Effective Date: August 2026

1. Introduction & Commitment to Transparency

Welcome to Lily Jewelry UK (lilyjewelryuk.xyz). Transparency, integrity, and consumer trust are central to everything we do. This Disclosure Policy outlines our operational standards regarding authentication, provenance research, commercial relationships, affiliate partnerships, and product representation across our platform.

2. Hallmark & Provenance Authentication Disclosure

Our core brand promise is that every piece’s hallmark and historical provenance are thoroughly profiled before being listed:

• Hallmarking Standards: All precious metal descriptions (including Gold, Silver, and Platinum) adhere strictly to recognized UK Hallmarking standards and British Assay Office guidelines where applicable.
• Provenance & Era Dating: Historical timelines, maker’s marks, and design eras (e.g., Victorian, Edwardian, Art Deco, Mid-Century) are identified through careful inspection, hallmark cataloging, and archival references.
• Third-Party Certificates: When items feature independent third-party appraisals or gemological certifications (such as GIA, AnchorCert, or IGI), this documentation will be explicitly stated within the product description.

3. Affiliate Links & Commercial Relationships

To help maintain our curatorial work, platform maintenance, and educational resources, Lily Jewelry UK may participate in affiliate marketing programs:

• Affiliate Tracking Links: Certain links on lilyjewelryuk.xyz may be affiliate links. If you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
• Editorial Independence: Affiliate partnerships never dictate our curatorial decisions, hallmark verification standards, or editorial opinions. We only feature, recommend, and partner with brands, artisans, and platforms that meet our strict criteria for quality and craftsmanship.

4. Sponsored Content & Collaborations

In the event that we publish sponsored articles, collaborative features, or gifted jewelry pieces:

• Any sponsored feature will be clearly and prominently identified as “Sponsored Content”, “Paid Collaboration”, or “Partner Feature” at the top of the publication.
• Our reviews, styling notes, and critiques remain completely honest, objective, and unbiased.

5. Product Condition, Photography & Gemological Disclaimers

• Heritage & Vintage Condition: Due to their historic nature, antique, vintage, and heritage pieces may display subtle characteristics of age, gentle patina, or past artisanal repairs. We make every effort to document these nuances thoroughly via clear, high-resolution photography and written condition reports.
• Color Accuracy: While we strive to display gemstone colors and precious metal tones as accurately as possible, actual colors may vary slightly depending on monitor calibration and lighting conditions.
• Carat Weights & Measurements: For mounted antique gemstones where stones cannot be safely removed without risking the integrity of the setting, carat weights and clarity grades represent expert approximations based on precise dimensional calculations.

6. No Financial or Investment Advice

Content, guides, and articles on lilyjewelryuk.xyz discussing precious metals, antique jewelry values, or gemstone trends are provided for educational and appreciation purposes only. They do not constitute certified financial, tax, or investment advice.

7. Policy Updates

We reserve the right to revise or update this Disclosure Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted immediately to this page with the updated revision date.
