Hallmarking at K O R E Jewellery
At K O R E Jewellery, we believe in providing our customers with the highest quality pieces, and hallmarking is an important part of ensuring that quality. Hallmarking is the process of verifying the authenticity and purity of precious metals, such as silver, gold, and platinum. Here’s why hallmarking is so important:
Our items are hallmarked in accordance with the UK weight regulations, see individual items descriptions to check if your item will be hallmarked.
​
1. Guaranteed Purity: Every item we sell that meets the required weight and purity standards is tested and hallmarked to confirm its authenticity. For silver, this means a minimum of 92.5% pure silver (sterling silver).
​
2. Consumer Protection: Hallmarks act as a stamp of trust, ensuring you receive the quality you expect. It protects you from any misrepresentation about the metal content of your jewellery.
​
3. Quality Assurance: Our hallmark confirms that each piece of jewellery has passed rigorous testing, meeting the legal standards for precious metals, giving you peace of mind about the quality of your purchase.
​
4. Transparency: Each hallmark includes important details such as the purity of the metal, the assay office where the item was tested, and the year of testing. This provides transparency and guarantees the craftsmanship behind every piece.
​
5. Legal Compliance: In the UK, hallmarking is a legal requirement for precious metal items above a certain weight. By ensuring our pieces are hallmarked, we comply with these regulations and uphold industry standards.
When you buy from K O R E Jewellery, you can be confident that you are receiving a beautifully crafted piece, backed by the assurance of hallmarking.
