Do not despair, but get in touch with a description of the jewel and we will sort out if the item is still available in one of our boutiques or if it is possible to craft it on request in our Antwerp atelier.

ALL ABOUT OUR JEWELLERY
All Wouters & Hendrix jewellery is designed and made by hand in our atelier in Antwerp, Belgium. Since 1984, we have been bending the rules of traditional jewellery making and wearing. We love to experiment and sometimes explore materials or techniques our team of craftsmen is inexperienced with. In that case, we outsource (a part of) the process to specialized ateliers with the necessary knowhow.
Our sterling silver jewellery features a 925 hallmark, our 18 ct. gold designs a 750 hallmark. If the design allows it each piece is stamped with a W&H hallmark and the master hallmark of two fertility figurines.
Yes, at Wouters & Hendrix, we provide a gemological certificate for every jewel containing a diamond larger than 1 carat. This certificate, issued by a recognized laboratory, details the 4 C's—colour, clarity, cut, and carat weight—ensuring both the authenticity of your diamond and offering insight into its exceptional quality.
Explore also our Diamond guide.
Sterling silver is alloyed with a 925 silver content, meaning it consists of 92.5% fine silver and 7.5% copper. The content stamp is an oval with the number 925 in its center. For more information, check our material guide.
Sterling silver is often gold-plated. At Wouters & Hendrix, this means the jewellery is covered in a layer of 18 ct. gold. The layer can be applied in different thicknesses, measured in a number of microns.
Our gold-plated bracelets and rings are covered in a layer up to 5 micron of 18 ct. gold.
Our gold-plated necklaces are covered in a layer of up to 3 micron of 18 ct. gold.
Our gold-plated brooches and earrings are covered in a layer of 1 micron of 18 ct. gold.
For more information, check our material guide.
Carat is the measurement used to determine the purity of precious metals like gold. The description ’18-carat’, shortened to ‘18 ct.’ guarantees exceptional purity. At Wouters & Hendrix we exclusively work with 18 ct. gold. All of our 18 ct. gold designs -unless the stamp damages the jewel- contain the official diamond-shaped stamp with 750 in the center. It indicates that 75% fine gold has been used in combination with silver and copper. In our online shop, every jewel in 18 ct. gold is accompanied by a specification of the carats and the weight of the gold used. For more information, check our material guide.
When loved intensively, it is normal for gold-plated jewellery to lose its glow. Friction against the skin, clothing or other jewellery can speed up the process of the disappearance of the gold layer. Check our care guide to learn how to maintain your jewellery to slow down this process. Do not hesitate to reach out via the contact form or to come by one of our boutiques to discuss your regilding request.
The patina of silver and gold-plated jewellery tends to vanish over time due to oxidation from wear and tear. The speed at which the patina disappears depends on the way in which the jewellery is cared for. To minimize this phenomenon or to bring the shine back, check our care guide.
A small Wouters & Hendrix label is attached to your jewellery to guarantee that you have bought the real deal. You can easily detach the label before you start wearing your treasure or leave it on, as you wish. In case the item you ordered online does not have a label, we do not ship one but you are more than welcome to stop by one of our boutiques to collect a label.
Jewellery made of silver (from 8 grams), gold (from 1 gram) or platinum (from 0.5 grams) sold in the Netherlands must contain a hallmark recognized in the Netherlands. Jewellery under this weight is not required to have a hallmark. All Wouters & Hendrix jewellery sold in our Amsterdam boutique, has been checked by the official Dutch guarantee institution and received the official hallmark guaranteeing the claimed amount of platinum, gold, silver or palladium in our jewellery.
