ALL STERLING SILVER ITEMS THAT ARE SOLD IN THE UK, OVER 7.78 GRAMS IN WEIGHT, ARE REQUIRED BY UK LAW TO BE HALLMARKED BY
A BRITISH ASSAY OFFICE. IN OUR CASE, ITEMS ARE HALLMARKED BY THE ASSAY OFFICE IN BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND. FOR A LIST OF THE COMPULSORY HALLMARKS, PLEASE CLICK HERE OR THE HALLMARKING LINK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.
EVERY
ITEM THAT WE SELL IS BRAND NEW & MADE OF STERLING SILVER.
BASICALLY, FOR SILVER TO QUALIFY TO BE STERLING SILVER, IT HAS
TO BE MORE THAN 92.25% PURE SILVER. THE STAMP "925"
MEANS THAT OUR SILVER IS 92.5% PURE SILVER & NICKEL-FREE.
OUR SILVER IS 92.5% PURE & NICKEL-FREE, OUR SILVER QUALIFIES
TO BE STERLING SILVER.
YOU CANNOT RELY SOLELY ON THE "925" STAMP TO GUARANTEE THE PURITY OF THE SILVER. IN THE UK, ALL ITEMS, OVER 7.78 GRAMS IN WEIGHT, ARE REQUIRED BY UK LAW TO HALLMARKED BY A BRITISH ASSAY OFFICE. THIS GUARANTEES THE PURITY OF THE SILVER. ANY SALE OF STERLING SILVER ITEMS IN THE UK, OVER 7.78 GRAMS IN WEIGHT, WITHOUT THE REQUIRED BRITISH ASSAY OFFICE HALLMARKS, IS ILLEGAL.
ALL OUR ITEMS ARE HALLMARKED AT THE BIRMINGHAM ASSAY OFFICE.
GENUINE STERLING SILVER SHOULD NOT IRRITATE
THE SKIN & WILL NOT GO "GREEN". SILVER
WHICH IS OF A LESSER QUALITY MAY CONTAIN NICKEL, WHICH MAY BE THE
REASON FOR THESE PROBLEMS.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANY JEWELERY MATTERS
