It is law within the UK that every item of precious metal sold such as Platinum, Gold, Silver is stamped labelling the item with the type of metal it is. Platinum pieces which weigh less than 0.5 grams, 18ct Gold and Palladium pieces weighing less than 1.0 gram and Silver pieces weighing less than 7.78 grams are except from hallmark.
At Diamonds Factory all our products are hallmarked as per UK hallmarking law from London Assay Office (The GoldSmith Company)
The Goldsmiths' Company Assay Office is the oldest assay office in the United Kingdom. It has provided hallmarking services since The Goldsmiths' Company was founded in the 1300s. The company received its royal charter in 1327 and ranks 5th in order of precedence of the 12 Great Livery Companies of the City of London.
Hallmarking dates back to the 1300s when Edward I of England passed a law requiring any item made of silver, which was offered for sale, to be at least of equal quality as that of the coin of the realm (silver currency). The wardens of The Goldsmiths' Company were tasked with visiting workshops in the City of London to assay (test) silver articles. If these articles were found to be below standard they were originally destroyed and the metal forfeited to the King. If they passed, each article received the King's mark of authentication - the mark of a leopard's head. By 1478, there were several hundred workshops and merchants manufacturing silver articles in the City of London. It was not possible for the wardens to visit them all so the merchants were ordered to bring their items to Goldsmiths' Hall for testing and marking and a permanent Assay Office was established in the building. This is the origin of the term hallmark - struck with the King's mark at Goldsmiths' Hall.
In 1544 the Goldsmith's Company adopted the King's mark as their town mark and the mark of the leopard's head is now internationally recognised as the mark of this assay office.
The Goldsmiths's Company Assay Office is still based at Goldsmiths's Hall and remains the oldest company in Britain to be continually trading from the same site. However, it also has two satellite offices; at Greville Street in Hatton Garden in the heart of the London jewellery quarter and within a high security complex near London's Heathrow airport. It now has a new off-site facility within the Dalston-based jewellery manufacturer, Allied Gold. This is the first time in the Assay Office's 700 year history that it has opened permanent hallmarking services on a customer's premises.
In addition to hallmarking, the office has now expanded its range of services to support the jewellery trade and enforcement authorities. It offers a variety of specialist analytical services including nickel, lead & cadmium testing, antique silver dating, non-destructive compositional analysis, plating thickness measurement and a melt and assay service for scrap precious metal carried out in their fully independent on-site laboratory. Other services offered are a jewellery valuation service, laser marking, trading standards assistance, high quality photography and a comprehensive range of training and educational seminars, lectures and specialist events.

What colour engagement ring is best?
Choose a coloured gemstone engagement ring based on what you know your partner likes. If they have a flair for vintage inspired clothing, something similarly vintage-inspired might be best such as an emerald or amethyst ring. If they’re into something more contemporary, a black or champagne diamond ring may be the best choice.
Choose the ring based on the colours they wear or surround themselves with – someone who enjoys bright colours might enjoy similar shades, for example. As long as you pick something with their tastes in mind, you can’t go wrong with these lovely engagement rings.

Best yellow diamond: Yellow side stone engagement ring
If you’re in love with someone who fills your life with sunshine, a yellow diamond may just be for them. Yellow diamonds get their colour because of nitrogen that was present during their formation.

Best pearl: Pearl and diamond ring
The first mentions of pearls can be found in a book from the 5th century and they quickly became treasured for their beauty and rarity.

Best ruby: Ruby three-stone ring
Coveted for their blood-red hue, rubies are a unique and eye-catching gemstone to feature in any engagement ring.

Best peridot: Peridot prong solitaire engagement ring

Now, it is thought to bring the wearer calmness and wisdom. This eye-catching amethyst engagement ring is ideal for those who love vintage inspired jewellery and turning heads. The central oval amethyst takes centre-stage while the accompanying round diamonds frame the stone beautifully, catching the light and the eye with every movement.
