Only Hallmarked Metals

Sophie Harley London only deals with gold, platinum and silver that has been hallmarked by the Assay Office London.

Precious metals are rarely used in their purest form. Instead, they are usually alloyed with lesser metals to achieve a desired strength, durability, and colour. It is not possible to detect the precious metal content of an item by sight or by touch. It is, therefore, a legal requirement to have items consisting of silver, palladium, gold or platinum independently tested and then hallmarked before they can be described as such. Sophie Harley London is registered with the London Assay Office, ensuring our precious metal jewellery is compliant with the UK’s hallmarking regulations. All stock is subject to an internal confirmation process to ensure it meets the UK’s hallmarking regulations before it is dispatched to our customers. By only dealing in recognised hallmarked goods we provide you with the certainty that you will only be purchasing gold, platinum or sterling silver as defined by the exacting standards of recognised assay offices. Each piece will carry Sophie Harley's registered makers mark to guarantee its authenticity subject to the following weight exemptions: The minimum weight for hallmarking silver items is 7.78 grams, gold is 1 gram & platinum is 0.5 grams. 

Many Sophie Harley London products carry a hallmark even if they are under the mandatory weight for hallmarking. Any un-hallmarked items below the mandatory weight for hallmarking undergo periodic voluntary testing to ensure they meet the minimum fineness requirement.

Cleaning and Caring for your Jewellery

Silver and Silver with Gold Plated Detail:

Sophie Harley London silver jewellery has a unique appearance and finish. As with all silver jewellery, it may become tarnished over time and we recommend gently rubbing a silver polishing cloth on the silver parts to restore the shine. If the piece has become very tarnished, a soft toothbrush with mild soapy warm water can also be used. Do NOT use silver dip as it will strip the original finish.

Please avoid any contact with chemicals such as chlorine as this will oxidise and turn your silver black. 

Gold Plating:

The plating on our rings is 5 microns thick and on all other pieces it is 3 microns thick. Whilst this is considerably thicker than a “flash” plate or gilding, the plating will wear gradually over time.

Please contact us if you require a quote for re-plating.

18ct Gold and Platinum:

Whilst these metals don’t tarnish, they may benefit from a polish from time to time and we recommend rubbing your jewellery gently with a gold or platinum polishing cloth to restore the shine. Stone set pieces may also benefit from cleaning with a soft toothbrush in mild soapy warm water.

If you would like us to professionally clean of any of your Sophie Harley London jewellery, please contact us at the studio for a quote.
