- Cutlery

Before visiting us, or posting your silver to us, it maybe best to see if your items bear any hallmarks similar to the ones shown:
These marks on silver show that the silver you have is British silver. However just because your item does not carry this mark does not indicate that it is not silver and you should look for one of the marks as shown below.
The marks above indicate that the item is silver and shows the percentage of silver in each item, i.e. 800 = 80%, 925 = 92.5%, 958 = 95.8% and 999 = 99.9%. Most UK silver tends to be Sterling Silver (925) whereas most 800 silver comes from Europe as a whole.
If the item is Sterling Silver it may carry one of the marks as shown above. Each of these indicate the item is, indeed, made from Sterling Silver but furthermore it indicates it’s point of origin.
Please note, silver plated items are different to silver items. Any pieces marked ‘EPNS’ and ‘Silver Plated’ are not solid silver, but only silver plated.
All precious metals are measured in TROY ounces. Unlike a IMPERIAL ounce, a Troy ounce contains 31.103 grams. An Imperial ounce contains only 28.35 grams
