Hallmarking
There is a legal requirement for an Assay Office to hallmark jewellery containing precious metals if they are described as such. Anything above the following weights has to be sent away for hallmarking. Silver 7.78g, Gold and Palladium 1g, and Platinum 0.5g. This process can sometimes vary in length of time however, the turn around for items is usually a couple of days. Please note that while we try and get items shipped out as soon as possible, pieces that are sent away for hallmarking can sometimes take slightly longer than 7-10 working days to be shipped.
