    I know him too, got a warm welcome a few weeks ago. I forgot to leave my parcel with you and ended up dragging it back to Exeter again. Have to get around to sending it up. Pat Lee (Isca Silver)

    I have never met Dave, but this is Dave, when he was made Fellow of the Institute of Professional Goldsmiths last year.

    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

    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.

    Thanks Dave, I suspected this would be the case, but good to know for sure!
