Hallmarking

As legally required, all silver jewellery weighing more than seven grams and all gold jewellery are hallmarked at the London Assay Office. My registered hallmark is MdW.

A hallmark:

• Is a set of component marks applied to articles of the precious metals gold, silver, platinum or palladium.

• Means that the article has been independently tested.

• Guarantees that it conforms to all legal standards of purity (fineness).

• Guarantees provenance by telling us where the piece was hallmarked, what the article is made from, and who sent the article for hallmarking.
