What is a Hallmark?
It is a quality control mark engraved on precious metals indicating that it has been tested independently and conforms to the standard of precious metal content or fineness.
Think of it as a Quality Check (QC) mark.
It’s an Official Stamp of Quality
In other words, it indicates that a product or metal is checked and certified for its purity and quality.
