It is law within the UK that every item of precious metal sold such as Platinum, Gold, Silver is stamped labelling the item with the type of metal it is. Platinum pieces which weigh less than 0.5 grams, 18ct Gold and Palladium pieces weighing less than 1.0 gram and Silver pieces weighing less than 7.78 grams are except from hallmark.
At Diamonds Factory all our products are hallmarked as per UK hallmarking law from London Assay Office (The GoldSmith Company)
The Goldsmiths' Company Assay Office is the oldest assay office in the United Kingdom. It has provided hallmarking services since The Goldsmiths' Company was founded in the 1300s. The company received its royal charter in 1327 and ranks 5th in order of precedence of the 12 Great Livery Companies of the City of London.
Hallmarking dates back to the 1300s when Edward I of England passed a law requiring any item made of silver, which was offered for sale, to be at least of equal quality as that of the coin of the realm (silver currency). The wardens of The Goldsmiths' Company were tasked with visiting workshops in the City of London to assay (test) silver articles. If these articles were found to be below standard they were originally destroyed and the metal forfeited to the King. If they passed, each article received the King's mark of authentication - the mark of a leopard's head. By 1478, there were several hundred workshops and merchants manufacturing silver articles in the City of London. It was not possible for the wardens to visit them all so the merchants were ordered to bring their items to Goldsmiths' Hall for testing and marking and a permanent Assay Office was established in the building. This is the origin of the term hallmark - struck with the King's mark at Goldsmiths' Hall.
In 1544 the Goldsmith's Company adopted the King's mark as their town mark and the mark of the leopard's head is now internationally recognised as the mark of this assay office.
The Goldsmiths's Company Assay Office is still based at Goldsmiths's Hall and remains the oldest company in Britain to be continually trading from the same site. However, it also has two satellite offices; at Greville Street in Hatton Garden in the heart of the London jewellery quarter and within a high security complex near London's Heathrow airport. It now has a new off-site facility within the Dalston-based jewellery manufacturer, Allied Gold. This is the first time in the Assay Office's 700 year history that it has opened permanent hallmarking services on a customer's premises.
In addition to hallmarking, the office has now expanded its range of services to support the jewellery trade and enforcement authorities. It offers a variety of specialist analytical services including nickel, lead & cadmium testing, antique silver dating, non-destructive compositional analysis, plating thickness measurement and a melt and assay service for scrap precious metal carried out in their fully independent on-site laboratory. Other services offered are a jewellery valuation service, laser marking, trading standards assistance, high quality photography and a comprehensive range of training and educational seminars, lectures and specialist events.
If someone tells you they’ve got engaged, the first thing you will ask them is: how did he or she ask? The story of how you proposed will be remembered - and told – forever so we made a list of unique ways to propose: from simple ones to those that require months of preparation. Keep reading to find the wedding proposal idea that suits you and your loved one!
Unique Proposals
1. In their favourite place
This one is as simple as romantic. The idea is that you pick their favourite place; it can be in your house or a rooftop, a monument or their favourite bench at a park. Take her or him to this special place and say the magic words. Ideally, you could ask someone nearby to take a picture of you on your knee. Every time they go back to that place, they will smile even more.
2. To the sound of music
For this one, you will need to organise it in advance. If you know that your partner enjoys music, hire a choir, a brass band or why not a cover band from their favourite group and summon everyone in the park. Ask them to play their favourite song while you propose to them. Every time that song pops on the radio, it will remind them of this beautiful day.
3. Scavenger Hunt
This proposal is for those who enjoy games. Think of a few places that your partner loves and that are meaningful to your relationship and ask your partner and maybe a few friends to visit them. Along the way, have cards with little notes for them to open where you described why you chose them. You can even add a stop at her favourite hair salon where she can get her nails – and why not her hair – done so she is ready for the pictures! We are sure she will thank us for this. When they reach the last spot, you will be there waiting to propose. You can even have all your friends and family there to celebrate the engagement!
4. At the theatre
Another type of proposal that requires a little bit more preparation. Get tickets for that play you were long-waiting to see and ask them if you can propose after the cast’s curtain call. You could also book a space in the playbill where you can add a note so you’ll have a souvenir of this special day.
5. Draw it
Pre-hire a caricaturist and ask him to wait for you in the park. Ask your partner to go out for a walk and take them to the park and act surprised when you spot the caricaturist. Convince your partner to have the caricaturist sketch a picture of you and wait until they see what the word bubbles say.
6. Under the Sea
Is your partner a sea fanatic? If so, call your local aquarium and ask them if you could dive in. If this is not allowed, ask them if you could give a sign to the divers. After you have them on board, take her to the aquarium and ask her to look at that specific fish tank. If you were allowed to dive in, tell her to wait for you while you go buy a beverage. Remember to hire a photographer to document this fantastic proposal!
7. Skywriter
You can hire a skywriter to spell ‘Will you marry me?” in the sky. Prepare her favourite meal and serve it outside. Open a bottle of her favourite rosé and ask her to look up while you toast. She will be amazed!
8. Advertise it
If your partner is an avid newspaper reader or is subscribed to a particular magazine, call them a book a spot to advertise your proposal. Prepare breakfast and serve it in bed with the newspaper or magazine. Wait until she or he sees it!
Destination Proposals
9. On the air
Plan a nice getaway to a place where you have to take a plane to get there. After take-off, talk to the flight attendants and ask them if you could use the loudspeakers system to propose. We are sure you will have lots of pictures and videos from all the passengers!
10. Hotel set up
After a long walk around the city, head for drinks and dinner to the hotel restaurant and ask the hotel employees to put roses, candles and champagne in your hotel room. A very private and unexpected proposal!
11. On a theme park
This one can be a little bit tricky because it requires acting fast! Prepare you ‘Will you marry me?’ sign in advance and hide it in your backpack. Ask her to go to that specific rollercoaster that you’ve previously chosen because it will take a photo, which you can buy after. Try to spot the camera so when you are there you can pull the sign out! She won’t know until she looks at the picture.
12. At Disney
This is the ultimate fairy-tale proposal because nothing says everlasting magical love like Disney does, right?
You could propose during the fireworks or while you meet her favourite character. If you want everything to go smoothly, you can contact the Disney team and they will help you organise everything!
13. Helicopter Trip
Plan a romantic trip for two and book a helicopter ride. You can either propose while you are flying or when you land like our happy customer did. He took his then-girlfriend-now-fian
