*Why do we need a metal content label?
*Is the metal content indicator regulated by national laws?
*How is the metal content mark engraved?
Metal content labels or brand logos can protect you from illegal merchants. The large amount of money involved in the jewelry trade has led to some illegal merchants attempting to deceive consumers. The metal content indicator proves the metal content contained in platinum, gold, and silver vessels. Therefore, it is also a guarantee of quality. If illegal merchants want to imitate their metal content labels, it is not easy to do so. And this will also be subject to legal sanctions.
Why do we need a metal content label?
The proportion of cheaper raw materials in the alloy cannot be seen with the naked eye. For example, platinum is a composite of gold and palladium or nickel. Therefore, your gold ring will never contain 100% gold content. But based on the engraved content mark, you can be confident that your ring has sufficient gold content. And this can ensure high quality.
Is the metal content indicator regulated by national laws?
The purpose of the metal content markers stipulated by national laws is obvious: to encourage fair trading and capture offenders on bait. In 1987, Belgium enacted laws on metal content. But it should be noted that metal content labeling is not mandatory. If your gold ring does not have a content label, it does not necessarily mean that its quality is lower. If its quality meets the standards, it means that it has not yet been provided to official institutions for verification.
The appearance of metal content indicators varies from country to country. In addition, there are sometimes several versions in circulation within a country.
How is the metal content label printed?
Some people believe that engraving a metal content mark on a gold ring can also damage the ring, which is a wrong idea. Nowadays, we all use the most advanced methods to test the purity of precious metals. X-rays can prove the purity of the alloy, and then use laser engraving to mark the metal content. The older method is the impact method. But this method is also very cautious and precise, and will not cause any harm.
