Gold Hallmarks

Gold hallmarks are official stamps or engravings that certify the purity and authenticity of a gold item. These marks are applied by authorized assay offices or manufacturers and serve as a guarantee of the gold’s quality. Hallmarks typically include information about the metal’s purity, the assayer’s stamp, and the manufacturer’s logo or symbol.

A 24-karat gold item may have a hallmark indicating 99.9% purity, while an 18-karat piece will reflect 75% purity. These markings protect consumers by ensuring they receive the gold quality they pay for, while also helping identify the origin of the item.
