Hallmark and Dealers Notice

In the UK jewellery items made from precious metals, which weigh over certain weights must legally be hallmarked.  This provides a guarantee for purchases that precious metals meet the quality stated.

A hallmark consists of the individual makers mark for the jeweller, together with the mark of the assay office which they are registered, and the type of metal being sold.

I am registered with the Birmingham Assay Office (the Anchor) and any fine silver jewellery weighing over 7.78g will be hallmarked.
