Hallmarking

Under the 1973 Hallmarking act, it is a legal requirement for gold weighing over 1.0 grams to have a UK recognised hallmark from one of the UK's Assay Offices. There are 4 Assay Offices in the UK - London, Edinburgh, Birmingham and Sheffield. 

What is it?

A hallmark is an official mark found on precious metal items such as gold that guarantees the purity and fineness of the metal. Hallmarks are a legal requirement on products of a certain weight – depending on the metal being marked.
