Hallmarks are the symbols applied to different metal types once tested to assure customers that the metal sold is the fineness it is said to be.
I have always been drawn to these symbols for their aesthetic qualities so designed my Golden Futures range in 2021 to showcase these symbols underneath gemstones. This pendant forms an addition to this original collection and celebrates the historical traditions of the jewellery industry in the UK.
This pendant is available either with a crown (symbol for gold), or leopard head (symbol for London).
The standard hallmarks for every piece are as follows:
Sponsors Mark - Initials of the maker, laid out in a unique border.
Fineness Mark - The metal type, eg. 585 for 14ct gold or 950 for platinum
Assay Office Mark - The city it was tested and marked in. London’s symbol is the leopard as seen here.
Optional hallmarks:
Fineness Mark - The metal type, eg. gold is symbolised by a crown and platinum an orb.
Date Mark - The date it was made, eg X for 2022
