Why Hallmarking Matters

Hallmarking is an official process that verifies the purity of precious metals. In the UK, hallmarking is legally required for silver items over 7.78g to guarantee authenticity. This bracelet is fully assayed and hallmarked, offering an extra level of confidence in its quality. Simply being stamped ‘925’ does not guarantee UK testing, whereas full assay and hallmarking provide:

• Assurance of genuine sterling silver content.
• Identification of the sponsor or manufacturer.
• Indication of the date and location of assay.
• Protection against counterfeit silver items.

All silver sold by H E Phillips Ltd is fully guaranteed and backed by a full refund policy in the event of an error.
