Apologies for the prolonged inactivity…there was Apologies for the prolonged inactivity…there was a backlog at the Assay office and I have only just received my silver back.  Normal service will resume shortly. 

While we are on the subject of hallmarking I thought I would show what mine look like and give a short explanation.  In the UK when a piece is made from a precious metal and is over a certain weight, (for silver it is anything over 7.78 grams) it has to be hallmarked in order to be sold.  Basically the metal is tested and the fineness is certified by the application of the hallmarks.  For more information you can read more on the London Assay office website. 

My hallmarks in the top photo and here is a breakdown of each mark from left to right:  My initials, sterling silver mark(lion), silver content (925), London Assay Office Mark (lion head), Year letter, Jubilee mark (this is a special mark for this year only commemorating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee) 

The Goldsmith’s Assay Office has been testing and hallmarking precious metals for 700 years and it’s a privilege to be part of this tradition.
