Why Hallmarking Matters in Second-Hand Gold Jewellery

Hallmarking is essential for verifying gold’s purity, origin, and authenticity. While some pieces may simply be stamped with “9ct”, “15ct”, “18ct” or “22ct”, this doesn’t always guarantee full UK testing. A fully assayed and hallmarked bracelet offers:

• Confirmation of gold content

• Assurance of authenticity

• Identification of maker/sponsor

• Reduced risk of counterfeit items

• Traceability through date and assay office marks

FAQs – Second-Hand 9ct, 14ct, 15ct, and 18ct Gold Bracelets

Q: What is the difference between 9ct and 18ct gold?
A: 9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold, while 18ct contains 75% pure gold. The higher the carat, the more gold content and richness in colour.

Q: Is second-hand gold jewellery worth buying?
A: Absolutely. Second-hand pieces often offer exceptional value, unique vintage styles, and verified quality, especially when fully hallmarked.

Q: Are all gold bracelets hallmarked?
A: Not necessarily. Only pieces tested by an official UK assay office can carry an official hallmark. All jewellery sold by H E Phillips Ltd is tested and verified.

Q: Is 14ct or 15ct gold still available?
A: 14ct gold is common, especially in American or European jewellery. 15ct gold is rarer and typically found in vintage pieces pre-dating 1932.

Q: Can I trust second-hand jewellery sellers?
A: Yes, when buying from reputable and long-established dealers like H E Phillips Ltd, who offer full refund policies and verified pieces.

Understanding Gold Purity – 375, 585, and 750 Explained

These numbers are often found alongside the hallmark, offering additional reassurance about the gold’s content. The higher the number, the richer the gold alloy.
