Hallmarking Guarantee
All H. L. Brown Group precious metal jewellery is hallmarked in accordance with UK law. You have a right as a consumer to have full reassurance when purchasing items of value.
In the UK it is illegal to sell or describe any item as Gold, Silver, Platinum or Palladium unless it is hallmarked*
A hallmark applied by a UK Assay Office is not proof of origin or place of manufacture of an item.
The hallmark of a UK Assay Office (whether applied by a UK Assay Office in its approved locations in or outside the UK) is proof that an item (in all its parts) is of the standard of fineness indicated by the hallmark struck on that item
Hallmarks applied by UK Assay Offices at their approved locations within the UK are clearly differentiated from those applied by UK Assay Offices in their approved locations outside of the UK (as detailed in the table below).
What should I do if my item is not hallmarked? If you have a concern regarding hallmarking contact your local Trading Standards Authority.
