Palladium Diamond Rings To Be Hallmarked
All jewellery made of palladium will have to be hallmarked in the UK and from the 1st of January this year, that rule has come into effect if the jewellery contains anything more than one gram of palladium. Here in the UK, it has been possible to keep the standard of metals high thanks to this compulsory requirement of hallmarking.
For years now, silver, gold and platinum have been hallmarked and now it’s the turn of palladium which is gaining in popularity. It looks a lot like platinum but it is nowhere as expensive so hallmarking it removes the possibility of it being passed off for the more expensive metal. The hallmarking will have three things – the sponsor’s mark, the mark of how pure it is and the town mark.
