A HALLMARK
Consists of a series of marks applied to articles of the precious metals platinum, gold, palladium and silver
Means that the article has been independently tested
Guarantees that it conforms to all legal standards of purity (fineness)
Guarantees provenance by telling us, as a minimum legal requirement, where the piece was hallmarked, what the article is made from, and who sent the article for hallmarking.
All four Assay Offices have a legislative remit to control standards of precious metal being sold in the UK. They do this by assaying (testing) the precious metal content, then applying the hallmark. It is a legal requirement for silver over 7.78g, gold and palladium over 1g, and platinum over 0.5g to have a UK recognised hallmark.
Look for the hallmark on our designs: Blue Fyre is proud to hallmark in London.
