PRECIOUS METALS CONTROL REPORT 2024
At LUMINIQUE, we prioritize quality and transparency in our work. To ensure that all our jewelery meets both our own strict standards and the customer's expectations, we carry out a thorough self-check, where we randomly select 2 pieces of jewelery at a time. This process is central to our commitment to deliver quality-conscious products.
In Denmark, the precious metals inspection plays an important role in the industry for precious metals and jewellery. The Precious Metals Control is an official control body that ensures that jewelery and other objects made of precious metals meet the legislative requirements according to Danish legislation. This includes checking the metal content to ensure that gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are properly alloyed and stamped according to applicable standards.
Our self-checks include accurate inspections and tests that ensure our jewelry meets our high standards of quality. By following these procedures and working closely with the precious metals control, we guarantee the authenticity and quality of our products. This means that when you buy a piece of jewelry from LUMINIQUE, you can be sure that it is not only beautiful, but also durable and made of materials of the quality promised.
We at LUMINIQUE are proud of our commitment to providing jewelry you can trust, and we value the trust our customers place in us by choosing our craftsmanship.

PART 2. OF THE REPORT
Worth knowing about black silver jewellery. Black silver jewelry is made from sterling silver that has undergone a process called "oxidation" or "hornization" to give it a dark, almost black surface. This treatment adds a unique and dramatic aesthetic to the jewelry, highlighting details and creating contrast, especially in jewelry with engraved or textured surfaces.
The oxidation process involves a chemical treatment where the silver is exposed to a combination of sulfur compounds that change the color of the silver's surface. The dark appearance is not permanent and can vary over time depending on use and care, giving each piece a unique patina and character.
