What Is Hallmarking?

UK hallmarking is the official way to verify the purity of precious metals, using modern technology. Applied by an Assay Office, a hallmark appears as a small, stamped symbol on your jewellery, confirming it meets legal standards for gold, silver and platinum.

What Jewellery Is Hallmarked?

Every precious metal piece we sell is either hallmarked according to UK legal standards or is exempt from hallmarking due to its lightweight nature.

Hallmarking is required by law for:

Gold items weighing 1 g or more

Silver items weighing 7.78 g or more

Platinum items weighing 0.5 g or more

What About Items That Weigh Less Than This?

Some of our silver and gold vermeil pieces are designed to be lightweight and don’t meet the hallmarking threshold. Because these items fall below the legal weight requirement for hallmarking, they legally do not require a hallmark, and your item will not have a hallmark stamp on it.

Most of our jewellery is hallmarked, giving you the official assurance of quality and authenticity. A small selection; especially certain delicate designs - aren’t hallmarked, because they fall under the UK’s legal exemption limits.
