Silver hallmarks

Silver hallmarks are special marks put on silver items like jewelry, cutlery, or other items made from silver. They show who made the item, where it was made, and when it was made. Each silver hallmark has different shapes, letters, and numbers that can tell you about the item. For example, if the silver hallmark has a lion shape and the letter 'm' it means the item was made in the UK and is 925 silver.
