This lovely little tourmaline cabochon ~ believed to attract inspiration, compassion, tolerance and prosperity ~ is set in fine .999 silver on a square sterling silver wire ring band.
 
Size M½ (UK); 6½ (US)
 
Full hallmarked by the Edinburgh Assay Office.
 
A hallmark tells the story of who made an article, what the article is made of (gold, silver, platinum, or palladium), the fineness of the precious metal, and where the article was assayed.
A hallmark must consist of at least three compulsory marks: a sponsor’s mark (maker’s mark), a metal fineness mark, and an assay office town mark.
A hallmark may also include an optional date letter, indicating when the article was hallmarked, or an optional traditional metal fineness mark, such as the Lion Rampant (sterling silver). 
The UK Hallmarking Act 1973 states that all silver items with a metal weight of more than 7.78 grams must be hallmarked. 
 
Seadragon Silver's hallmarks include the maker's mark (the initials SM in a quatrefoil); two metal fineness marks (925 and the Lion Rampant) to denote sterling silver; the Edinburgh Assay Office mark (castle); and the date mark ('W' for 2021; 'X' for 2022).
 
 
About Seadragon Silver
I was born in the Year of the Dragon according to the Chinese zodiac, and I love creating beautiful jewellery using seaglass, most of which we find along the beautiful beaches of the North Norfolk coast here in England. Some of it comes from much further afield, thanks to friends who send me 'mermaid mail' from as far away as Japan, Tasmania and the United States.
 
I'm proud of every piece I make, and I hope you enjoy wearing my jewellery as much as I love making it.
