Quick answer
Jewellery sold as new work over the hallmarking exemption weight must carry a genuine UK hallmark. On JewelleryTrader a designer subscription includes an allowance of up to 15 adverts refreshed every 60 days, collection packages that cover a whole range in one advert, and a maker page in the directory. Designer plans are £29 a month or £290 a year, and watch and fine jewellery dealers £49 a month or £490 a year — and the first 200 trade members join free for a whole year.
Jewellery Business £29 a month or £290 a year. Dealer £49 a month or £490 a year. Annual plans are twelve months for the price of ten.
The first 200 trade members to join get their whole first year free — there is no charge at all until the 12 months are up, and you can cancel any time before renewal.
Anyone selling new jewellery over the hallmarking exemption weight as gold, silver or platinum must have it hallmarked by a UK Assay Office, and that mark should be shown clearly in the advert photos. JewelleryTrader has a dedicated field for your maker's mark and registration, so it shows properly on every advert and on your maker page rather than being buried in a description.
A collection package covers a whole range: each piece gets its own photos, size and price, but you write the materials, inspiration and story once. Sample or discontinued pieces can also be advertised at a reduced price where you are clearing stock rather than selling at full price.
Before any jewellery advert goes live the seller passes a photo ID check matched against a live selfie. It takes a couple of minutes once, and it is the reason buyers here behave differently to buyers on free classified sites — they arrive expecting a real, traceable business rather than an anonymous phone number.
Your business gets its own page: description, photos, the jewellery types and areas you cover, opening hours, phone, website, prices if you want to publish them, and any registrations or accreditations you hold. It is indexed by Google in its own right, so people searching for your service in your town can find it directly.
Joining, filling in your contact details and your business details takes around ten minutes on a phone. There is nothing to install and no sales call — you fill the form, claim your free first year and your page is live.
If a piece is described as gold, silver or platinum and is over the hallmarking exemption weight, yes — and the hallmark should be visible in the advert. Pieces below the exemption weight can be advertised without one, and the hallmark field simply stays empty.
A designer subscription carries an allowance of up to 15 adverts, refreshed every 60 days, with collection packages counting as a single advert for the range.
Your plan is priced by the jewellery you make — rings, earrings, watches or costume — and you can add extra directory categories if you also offer services such as repair or commissions.
No. The first 200 designers, jewellery shops, valuers and jewellery service businesses to join get a completely free first year. You add a card so the subscription continues afterwards, but nothing is taken during those 12 months and you can cancel before renewal.
Yes, at any time from your dashboard. Your listing stays live until the end of the period you have paid for (or the end of your free year), and you are not charged again.
Your page has its own web address and is submitted in our sitemap, so it can be found in search on its own — as well as through our directory pages for your service and your area.
