Learn how to read silver hallmarks and stamps, ensuring every piece you choose is authentic, refined, and crafted to lasting standards.

When buying silver jewelry, the small stamps on a piece are more than decorative details — they confirm authenticity, purity, and quality. Understanding silver hallmarks allows you to make informed decisions when choosing sterling silver jewelry meant to last.
Silver hallmarks are official stamps applied to jewelry to indicate metal purity and, in some cases, origin or certification. They provide assurance that a piece is made from genuine silver rather than plated or imitation materials.
These are the most widely recognised hallmarks found on silver jewelry:
Hallmarks protect buyers by confirming:
These same principles apply across fine jewelry materials. If you’re comparing metals beyond silver, our guide How to Check Gold Purity: A Complete Guide for Buyers explains how hallmarks and testing work for solid gold as well — and why verification matters at every level.
Understanding hallmarking standards is also part of choosing silver that’s made to last. Beyond purity stamps, responsible material sourcing plays an important role in quality and longevity. This is explored further in Recycled Silver: Quality, Responsibility, and Lasting Value, which explains how recycled sterling silver maintains the same standards of durability and authenticity while reducing environmental impact.
Sterling Silver Essentials
Silver stamps are typically placed in discreet locations:
Faint markings are common — sterling silver is soft, and hallmarks can naturally wear over time.
Every AURÉV piece is stamped to confirm authenticity and purity. Alongside ethical sourcing and recycled metals where possible, hallmarks form part of our commitment to transparency, quality, and jewelry designed to endure.
