The black finish is achieved by filling the compass impression with specialist jewellers paste. Over time, the colour will fade, but I am happy to reapply it for you. Please get in touch via email.

As each piece is made by hand each one may vary slightly from that shown in the image. I cut and shape each tag, disc, mountain and fell design. Please note that each mountain and fell design is my interpretation of the scene.

Don't forget to clean your silver regularly with an appropriate silver polishing cloth to help prevent it from tarnishing. Feel free to check out our jewellery care guide to see how best to care for your jewellery. 

In the UK there are strict rules about selling precious metals.  Under the 1973 Hallmarking Act, any item of silver that is above 7.78g must be hallmarked.  Items of gold above 1g must also be hallmarked.
At present, all of my items fall below this requirement and do not require hallmarking.  
However, I do have my hallmark registered with the London Assay Office and if you would like a piece to be hallmarked please get in touch.  Please bear in mind that it can take a few weeks for the process to be completed and there would be an additional charge to cover the costs.  As my pieces are of a contemporary design, I have opted for the hallmark to be lasered rather than punch stamped.
It is worth noting that 925 on silver is not a hallmark and with the right tools can be stamped on silver by anyone.

Hand stamping is a method of creating a permanent mark on metal.  
This technique involves placing a letter, number, symbol or design stamp upon metal and then carefully hitting it with a hammer to leave a permanent impression.
Due to the nature of hand stamping, sometimes a slight impression of the design may be seen on the reverse of the metal.  This is because the force of the stamp will displace the metal slightly and push it through to the reverse.  I always try to keep this to a minimum where possible.  
Each impression may vary slightly in its position on the metal and the depth of the stamp may also vary slightly,  
Sometimes the stamp designs are highlighted by filling in the impression with colour via an enamel maker pen, enamel liquid, specialist paste or a patina.  Most often the colour is black.  This allows the impression to stand out more.  For a more subtle effect, I don't always colour-fill the design. If you are in doubt about this, please feel free to get in touch.
I love the fact that no two impressions will ever be the same as they are done by hand.  Please don't see this as a negative but as something to love about your handmade item, as this means that each one is truly unique to you.
