The innovation, powered by blockchain technology from Everledger and implemented by the Edinburgh Assay Office, was unveiled alongside the launch of PureJewels’ latest fine jewellery line, the Lotus Collection.

For the first time in the UK, every piece in a jewellery collection will carry a secure digital record created at the hallmarking stage. These Digital Product Passports provide verified details about hallmarking, material provenance, supply chain journey, and ethical sourcing—enhancing consumer confidence and elevating the standard of responsible jewellery retail.

The Lotus Collection, symbolising love’s journey from bud to bloom, features handcrafted pieces in 18ct yellow gold, platinum, and PureJewels’ exclusive 22ct Sunrise Gold. It embodies the brand’s ethos of “Celebrating Journeys”, merging heritage artistry with cutting-edge innovation.

“Hallmarking has always been the cornerstone of trust in fine jewellery. By launching Hallmarking 2.0 with the Lotus Collection, we are showing how tradition and technology can coexist for the modern luxury consumer,” said Jayant Raniga, CEO of PureJewels. “This is the beginning of a more responsible, transparent, and digitally connected future for our industry.”

The Lotus Collection is now available at PureJewels’ London showroom, online at purejewels.com, and will be rolled out to retail partners nationwide. Ainsworth Jewellers in Blackburn—a heritage retailer with 155 years of history—will be the first UK stockist.

“Our customers value tradition, innovation, and transparency. With Digital Product Passports, they gain deeper insight and assurance—connecting them more meaningfully to each piece they choose,” said Phil Ainsworth, Managing Director of Ainsworth Jewellers.

The Edinburgh Assay Office, one of the UK’s oldest hallmarking institutions, has welcomed the move as a vital step forward.

“Hallmarking has safeguarded consumer trust for over 700 years. Hallmarking 2.0 is a natural evolution, and we are proud to bring that trust into the digital age,” said Scott Walter, Chief Executive and Assay Master.

Backed by tech partner Everledger, the initiative is also a testament to the growing demand for traceable luxury.

“Jewellery has a story to tell. Hallmarking 2.0 makes that story visible and verifiable,” said Leanne Kemp, Founder of Everledger.
