Hallmarking

All Genevieve Broughton jewellery collections are made using Sterling Silver and 9ct Gold,  all jewellery over the required weight is hallmarked at Sheffield Assay Office in accordance with the 1973 Hallmarking Act.

Legal Terminology

The 1973 Hallmarking Act makes it unlawful to describe an item over a certain weight as gold, silver, platinum or palladium without an independent Hallmark

• All Silver articles weighing more than 7.78 grams must be hallmarked
• All Gold articles weighing more than 1 gram must be hallmarked

Articles below these exemption weights may be described as Gold, Silver, Palladium or Platinum without the need for a hallmark.

 Many of my pieces are under the required weight for hallmarking but this can be arranged at an extra cost, please contact me if you have any questions.
