Exemption weight

7.78 g for silver, per article

Hallmark status

Below the 7.78 g exemption

A single article weighs 2.8 g, which is under the 7.78 g statutory exemption weight for silver. It is therefore lawfully sold unmarked, and we state that rather than implying a mark.

03  /  Dress code

Dress codes vary by occasion and by host. These tiers are a common-practice reference, not a rule — where an invitation states something specific, follow the invitation.

04  /  Materials and skin contact

• Nickel-safe: tested to the UK REACH release limit for articles in prolonged contact with the skin (0.5 µg/cm²/week).
• Lead and cadmium content is held within UK REACH limits (lead 0.05%, cadmium 0.01%). Supplier conformity documentation is held on file.
• We do not sell ivory, and we do not use coral, tortoiseshell or any other CITES-listed material.

05  /  Engraving

Letters, initials, dates and simple geometry, up to 20 characters, £15 per article. We do not engrave armorial bearings, regimental or university insignia, police badges, club or team badges, or registered marks.

An engraved article is made to your specification, so the 14-day right to cancel does not apply to it. You confirm this separately before the article is added to your bag and again at checkout.

07  /  About this article

A tie bar should be narrower than the tie, never wider. At 50 mm this suits ties between 5 and 7 cm across the blade — the standard range.

The jaw opens to 4 mm, which is enough for a tie plus a shirt placket in most cotton weights. Clip it through both, not just the tie.
