Hallmarking of silver articles
Hallmarking of Sentiell's Silver Jewelry
In 2005, Poland joined the Hallmarking Convention (Convention on the Control and Marking of Articles of Precious Metals). This allows our customers to sell Sentiell jewelry in other member countries without any additional formalities.
In accordance with Polish regulations on the marking of precious metal products, all jewelry offered by Sentiell wholesale is stamped with a fineness mark confirming the precious metal content.
Each piece of silver jewelry (e.g. a pendant, earring, or ring) weighing more than 5 grams is also marked with an official hallmark. If the weight of a single item does not exceed 5 grams, the jewelry bears both a fineness mark and the manufacturer’s mark.
