At Browns Family Jewellers, we are committed to providing our customers with confidence when purchasing precious-metal jewellery.

UK hallmarking law helps protect customers by ensuring that items described as gold, silver, platinum or palladium meet the required standards of purity. A hallmark confirms that an item has been independently tested by an authorised Assay Office and meets the legal standard for the precious metal stated.

The official Hallmarking Dealer’s Notice below explains the different elements of a UK hallmark, including the sponsor’s mark, the metal and fineness mark, and the Assay Office mark.

Please view the official Dealer’s Notice below for further information about UK hallmarks and the standards that apply to precious-metal jewellery.
