A question that came up on Friday please! A lady wants a rong with 18ct, 9ct and sterling. Not much differenc in the amount of either gold. Which do I put in the 'mixed metal' box please? (It will be sent witb a sterling parcel). Thanks!
Hi Lydia,
Silver and gold goes into the 'mixed metal' box
The ring will be hallmarked as sterling initially but you can have a gold part mark, in this case 9ct, but you must mention it on the hallnote otherwise they will just mark it as silver.
Best
Dave
Thanks Dave, to clarify, can it only be marked with the lowest carat of gold it contains? (As it will have 9 and 18 in it)
Hi Lydia, sorry for the delay in getting back to you,
this is one of those instances where you have to assume a consumer can't visually see the difference between 9ct and 18ct, so therefore only the lower standard of gold can be recognised.
