    Default Argentium tags

    Is there anywhere I can buy 930 stamped ovel assurance tags for argentium jewellery? Or possibly blanks I can stamp myself? Many thanks

    In any case they would have no validity. You can use 925 tags but only a 925 hallmark will ultimately do. Dennis.

    Argentium is .930 or 960. I am not wanting a hallmark, I'm wanting the oval assurance tags.

    Probably best to make your own in that case either with a disc cutter or a saw if you can get a 930 stamp

    How many do you need maybe worth having them cast if you need a few ?

    Thanks. Maybe I'll have to do this. I can buy a .930 stamp here in the UK

    I have to agree with Wallace that anyone can add a tag but it doesn't actually mean anything and in some cases buyers are duped by unscrupulous sellers. I've never found any of my customers look for tagging but I tend to even have my underweight items hallmarked if I'm sending in a big batch to make up the min quantity price.
    I also found this on marking
    Argentium has its own hallmark and is stamped .925 as it is still a sterling silver, although you can buy it at the higher standard of Britannia silver if preferred and it will be hallmarked as such

    Here you go - http://www.argentiumsilver.com/certified-silver-purity
    You can apply to be a licensed user of the winged unicorn mark. It still isn't a hallmark though.

    There's an optional Britannia hallmark that covers 958 too.
