Question: hallmark

[eastslope]

I was just wondering if you can still stamp sterling even though there are multiple materials in a piece. I am mostly wondering if I should stamp that mokume bracelet sterling even if there is a lot of copper on the sides. Well, I better get back to the bench. Thanks everyone, Seth

However, if a quality mark is used, the mark must be accompanied by a manufacturer's hallmark that is a registered trademark or the name of the manufacturer. Metal content in other countries very.
