    Default total weight for hallmarking..

    Good point raised here, about total weights!
    Now, the 'laws' about hallmarking, and about 'retailing jewellery' would differ here!
    You would come under two laws or jurisdictions, those of the hallmarking act, and those of trading standards.
    You could, in thoery, perfectly legally not send in for assay a pendant under the weight requirement for hallmarking. You could also make a chain under the weight for hallmarking.
    You could sell both separatly.
    However, put the pendant on the chain, permanently jointed or not, but in a display box, with an overall price....and your 'breaking' trading standards 'laws' but not hallmarking ones.....
    but then...put the pendant on the chain with two prices, chain and pendant as a suggested combination.......
    and your fine.
    Auction rooms sell any weight item with impunity by calling them white or yellow metal.
    Its not what you do...its how you do it....

    But you also have to think about what your customers want....its alright bending assay laws about combining weights...but often, customers want to see the marks...so dont forget that too!
