LT Shine is a theme for small jewellery and accessories shops with a workshop, built with free Elementor: a hero that teaches visitors to read the marks inside a band (maker's mark, fineness number in its metal's shape, date letter) on this week's piece, a catalogue tray where every piece starts with its fineness mark, collection pages for rings, wedding bands, signet and stacking rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets with example prices and an 'Ask about this' link, a metals guide that draws each fineness as parts of 1000, a ring size table, repair and resizing prices, commissions, opening hours and an 'Ask about a piece' form. A Hello Elementor child theme with bundled fonts, one-page mode and a mobile menu.

Home page sections
The home page sections, in order, with the name they have in Elementor’s Navigator and their CSS ID (the anchor used by one-page mode and by links such as /#marks).

| On the tray this week | #tray |
| Collections | #collections |

- Read the marks inside the band: The home page opens with this week's piece and its three marks magnified: maker's mark, fineness number in its metal's shape and date letter, each with what it tells the customer.
- A catalogue tray without a checkout: Rings, wedding bands, signet and stacking rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets in tray slots with the fineness mark, metal and stone, sizes, example prices and an 'Ask about this' link.
- Metals drawn as parts of 1000: Each metal you work in, from 9ct gold to platinum, with its fineness drawn as a bar of pure metal and a plain line on how it wears.
- Ring sizes, repairs and commissions: A ring size table in US, UK and millimetres, repair and resizing prices, a page on reading hallmarks and the steps of a commission.
- Free Elementor and a ready form: Every page is built with free Elementor widgets on Hello Elementor, with an 'Ask about a piece' form made with the free WPForms Lite plugin. Fonts are bundled: no Google Fonts requests.

Form
With WPForms Lite active, the demo import creates the form Ask about a piece on the Visit page. Fields: Your name (required), Email (required), Phone (optional), What would you like? (required), Which piece?, Ring size, if you know it, How should we reply?, Anything else we should know. Email subject: “Question about a piece from the website”. After sending, visitors see: “Thank you. Someone at the counter replies by email or phone within one working day.”
See Contact form for where messages go and how to change the fields.
Demo content to replace
Everything marked with one of these in the demo is sample content: names, numbers, prices and addresses that you replace with your own (or delete):
(sample)Example pricesexample.com(555)Larkin YardSpringfield
- A punch must match its piece: the shape is the metal (oval silver, clipped square gold, house platinum) and the number its fineness. Never use a punch as decoration, and never show a fineness mark on plated or filled pieces.
- Keep fine gold (accent) for gold marks and gold fineness figures; never for sales, headlines or decoration.
- No brand names, certificates, star ratings or reviews presented as real; there is no online checkout, so buttons go to the form or the phone.
Only publish facts that are true for your business: real prices, opening hours, reviews and qualifications. Pro Unlimited’s launch checker lists every sample marker left on the site.

AI kit (Pro Unlimited)
The AI kit’s AGENTS.md tells an assistant how LT Shine is built. The CSS classes it relies on (keep them when you edit):
| CSS class | What it is |
|---|---|
lt-hero | home hero (headline, lead, and the marks panel of this week's piece) |
lt-marks | the marks panel: three magnified punches (lt-mark-key) beside the piece they are struck in (lt-marks__piece) |
lt-mark-key | one magnified mark: the punch drawing, its name and what it tells you |
lt-punch | a struck punch drawing (maker's mark, fineness number in its metal's shape, or date letter); lt-punch–lg magnified, lt-punch–sm at the top of a tray slot |
lt-tray | the catalogue tray: slots divided by thin lines on the tray lining |
lt-slot | one piece in the tray: fineness punch and price, name, metal and stone line (lt-metal), sizes, Ask about this; is-one for a single piece |
lt-metal | metal and stone line (Goudy italic, like an inscription) |
lt-ppt | a fineness drawn as a bar of pure metal out of 1000; lt-ppt–375|585|750|916|925|950|999 sets the length, lt-ppt–gold|silver|platinum the metal |
lt-metal-row | one metal in the metals list: punch, name, fineness bar, what it is like to wear |
lt-gold | a figure that belongs to a gold mark (fine gold); only for gold fineness |
lt-coll | one collection card (photo, name, one line, link) |
lt-steps | numbered steps (a real sequence: making a piece, sizing, a commission); each lt-step |
lt-sizes | ring size table (US, UK, inside diameter in mm) |
lt-piece-link | a link card to a piece page (punch + name + one line) |
lt-pagehead | inner page heading band |
lt-desk | contact desk block |
lt-price | label + value row (repairs, hours) |
lt-person | one person (name and role) |
See AI kit for the prompts, the safe edit tool and the launch checker.
Questions about LT Shine
Do I need Elementor Pro?
No. LT Shine uses only the free Elementor plugin and the free Hello Elementor theme. The header and footer are part of the theme, so you do not need Theme Builder.
Can customers buy online?
Not with this theme alone: it is a catalogue with prices and an 'Ask about this' link on every piece, which opens the question form. Customers ask, reserve or come into the shop.
How do I change the marks and the punches?
The punches are small SVG drawings in the theme: maker's mark, date letter and the fineness marks 375, 750, 925 and 950. Swap a slot's punch in the Image widget; the names, prices and sizes are normal Elementor text.
Will my site look like the demo?
Yes, with Pro: Appearance > Demo import creates every page, the colours, fonts, menu, header and footer. The demo photos are replaced by placeholders you swap for your own.
What is the difference between Free and Pro?
Free has the design, header and footer, The shop and Visit pages and the blog. Pro adds the home page, the collection, workshop, ring size and hallmark pages, sample posts, one-click demo import, credit removal, updates and support. Pro Unlimited adds the AI kit.
I have the old LT Shine. Is this an update?
It is a new version 2.0 with a new design, built for free Elementor. Your current site keeps working; install 2.0 on a new site or a staging copy and import the demo there.
