Why do Laser Hallmarks complicate the sizing process?
A. As these hallmarks are only burnt on to the surface of the metal by a laser they can be very faint. Rings that have laser hallmarks are harder to size as the hallmarks can easily be removed by the buffing and polishing that is necessary to size a ring correctly. We suggest you bring this to the attention of your customer before sending to the workshop for alteration. If the laser hallmark is removed it can be re-added for an approx. cost of £12.00. This will take a further 2-3 weeks as the ring will have to be sent to the Assay Office for remarking.
