The hallmark can vary depending on the platinum content of the jewel. Thus, platinum, like all other precious metals, has several hallmarks. We present them to you.

The platinum hallmark, a guarantee!

When you buy a platinum jewel, you must pay attention to the hallmark. First of all, you must check that it has one and then make sure that it is indeed a platinum hallmark. Indeed, the platinum title hallmark allows to recognize the type of alloy and therefore, it allows to guarantee the purity of the platinum used for its manufacture. Thus, hallmarking is a process by which we know the value of the jewel according to the platinum content alloys.

A punch is therefore intended to be a guarantee regarding the quality of the platinum and, in fact, of the jewel you are buying. The platinum hallmark can be affixed by French customs, the manufacturer of the jewel or the importer in order to guarantee that the jewels are indeed made of real platinum.

The different hallmarks of platinum

It is important to know how to distinguish between the different platinum guarantee hallmarks. In fact, the hallmark varies depending on the purity of the alloy.

The hallmark affixed to all pure platinum jewelry is an emperor penguin. This hallmark has been affixed since 2002. The penguin is drawn from the side and a listel surrounds it.
A second motif is used to designate the other platinum titles. This is the dog's head.

Dog head 1 is affixed to 950 platinum jewelry; dog head 2 appears on 900 platinum jewelry, dog head 3 is affixed to 850 platinum jewelry. And finally, the dog head concerns 850 platinum jewelry.

For jewelry coming from abroad or where the origin of the platinum is unknown or uncertain, the hallmark affixed is then a Mascaron, also called a Bearded Man.

This motif is the guarantee that the jewel on which it is affixed contains a platinum content of at least 850/1000. /vc_column_text] stm_sidebar sidebar=”10766″] stm_post_bottom] stm_post_about_author] stm_post_comments] stm_spacing lg_spacing=”80″ md_spacing=”80″ sm_spacing=”30″ xs_spacing=”20″] /vc_column] vc_column width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”] vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” el_class=”third_bg_color” css=”.vc_custom_1451889219674{margin-bottom: -60px !important;}”] vc_column width=”2/3″] vc_cta h2=”Questions?
