Welcome

All we have here is an easy page with simple details. We need to know the Colour and some general details regarding the metal your Jewelry item is made from.

You should have done a little Homework by now and know the weight of your item. If not, you can always leave and come back later.

Send Feedback Here if you have any problems or comments about this form.

Q1: What Metal is this item made from?    ignore small mixed items. You are just after the Main Metal now.
Q2: What Colour is it?    You can have Green gold too while Rose gold is very popular.
Q3: If your Jewelry has a hallmark showing the Carat or Karat Quality, what is it?

This may show a 'K' in place of a 'c' such as 9K or 9Kt. It may even have a decimal point in front of the Grades, such as .925

** Gold also, may show a decimal figure, so just convert to the correct one.

 Beware of GP (for Gold  Plate) or RG for Rolled Gold etc. If you are not sure about Hallmarks, why not read the section in our Gold and Precious Metal Department.

There is also some Great information at the Antique Detection Bureau.

  • Let's look at the British Hallmarks now

    • If it doesn't have a UKHM you can skip this section...
Q5: Does the item have a UKHM? Yes or No If you are not sure if it is a UK Hallmark, then just leave it 'No'
Q6: If it does can you select the correct Assay Office Mark The top three are the only ones remaining in England
Q7: If there are any other Hallmarks, show them here? The Queen's Silver Jubilee mark, for example.

  • The next section is VERY important as it needs to know the age of your Jewelry...

    • Use the YEAR not how old it is....
Q8: Indicate the age of this item based on what year it was made. Try and be as accurate as you can.  Circa:                             ** If you are sure of a date because it has been handed down through the family, even if it has NO HALLMARK - Show it Here... First: use a date based on the Hallmark of this item. Pin it down to within 25 years first, like 1925 or 1900 and then get more specific

  • If your jewelry has other Hallmarks (NOT from the UK) show it Now.
Q9: If you are sure of a Hallmark from some other country, check the country here. These are the most common ones but there were many others.
Q10: Is your item Hollow or Solid? Hollow or Solid Beware of Hollow Bracelets or Bangles which were filled with wax

  • Last One for Now...

    • But an easy one....
Q11: What is the weight in grams?

 
** Use a decimal to a maximum of 2 places only.

 This should be something like:
3.7 or 16.4 or 32. No Words.
