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.
