Hallmarks for Avalon jewellery
A hallmark is a series of marks applied by an independently run assay office which guarantees the precious metal content of items containing gold, silver, platinum or palladium. In the U.K. hallmarking is a legal requirement for items above a certain weight. For silver items this is 7.78 grams.
These marks show that your item has been tested and marked by the Goldsmiths’ Company Assay Office.
