Dealers Notice
The UK is one of only a few countries in the world that have compulsory statutory hallmarking. This means that every item sold as precious metal, ie gold, silver, platinum or palladium must have been tested and hallmarked by an independent third-party Assay Office to guarantee that the precious metal is of the fineness stated.
The law applies to everything SOLD in the UK , regardless of where it may have been manufactured. The only exemptions are items which fall beneath the specified weight thresholds which are 1 gram for gold, 7.78 grams for silver, 0.5 grams for platinum and 1 gram for palladium.
All IZABO Jewellery above the weight threshold is hallmarked in the London Assay Office, with my mark of IZB alongside the usual marks.
For more about hallmarking and what to look for when shopping for jewellery, have a look at the video below.
