Gold hallmarks, caring for your jewelry customersRepeat customers are the life blood of your jewelry business. Hallmarking gold will be a standard professional practice that your customers will appreciate. Hallmarking gold (and silver) is the application of a quality control mark to a precious metal jewelry item. When using precious metals, your jewelry should be hallmarked to identify and authenticate a piece’s karat.
It’s in your best interest for that test of fineness to match with the hallmark you’ve stamped.
Marking stampsMarking stamps are precision etched water-hardened steel tools that stamp an image to the metal with one blow. You get an embossed image of the karat on the metal.You can buy bent or straight stamps to produce quality stamped images all the time. You can customize stamps for your own copyright issues as well as for hallmarking karat. Additionally to the quality hallmark you can also use makers mark on each of your jewelry creations. The makers mark is a frequent practice among jewelers to identify a piece of jewelry as their own creation. It’s like signing your jewelry; some people actually do that using an engraving machine. You can custom make your signature or biz logo stamp too. Jewelry tagsAnother alternative for stamps is using jewelry tags. Many jewelers put them in chains, necklaces and bracelets as a branding mechanism.They come in all sorts of shapes and sizes so you may stamp your personal hallmark on them. See a great variety of jewelry stamps at Infinity Stamps (buying something from them is at your own discretion, I have not done any shopping with them before, but they have an immense variety to choose from) Personally, I prefer stamping the hallmark onto the clasps or any other flat surface. Something simple is best I think.
