hall marking
Hallmarking is a legal requirement within the UK, it is a process of verifying and officially stamping pieces of jewellery made from silver, gold, platinum, and palladium.
The minimum weight to have a hallmark verification is:
Gold: 1.0 grams
Silver: 7.78 grams
Platinum: 0.5 grams
Palladium: 1.0 grams
It is a small hallmark in a vertical line with minimal spacing between the marks. This consists of a Sponsor's mark, Millesimal fineness mark, and Assay Office mark which can be done by either using punches or a laser marking machine (we’ve opted for a laser mark).
This means the individual pieces have been independently tested, meet all legal standards, and what the piece is made from, where it was hallmarked.
