A guide to uk hallmarking laws for sterling silver and gold jewellery
Hallmarking
In the UK it is illegal to sell or describe any item as Gold, Silver, Platinum or Palladium unless it is hallmarked as per the UK Hallmarking Act 1973.
Articles above the following weights must be hallmarked:
- Silver, 7.78 grams
- Palladium, 1.0 gram
- Gold, 1.0 gram
- Platinum, 1.0 gram
We aim to hallmark all of our sterling silver jewellery, even if it is below the UK hallmarking threshold. Hallmarking details are included in each product description, but please complete our contact us form if you have any questions.
