Raising Standards in the Jewellery Industry
Published: 30th August 2022
Earlier this year, the National Association of Jewellers unveiled a new whistleblower mailbox, to help support a drive for greater transparency and compliance within the UK jewellery industry.
This new initiative allows members of the trade to confidentially alert the Association to jewellery companies that may not be conducting business in a legally compliant way. This extends beyond just NAJ members and includes all companies in the jewellery trade.
Any concerns can be sent via email to concern@naj.co.uk and will be dealt with by an expert compliance department.
The Sheffield Assay Office was established in 1773, under an Act of Parliament and today the company assays and hallmarks the precious metals - silver, gold, platinum and palladium. Sheffield Assay Office is one of only four UK assay offices who all work to uphold the Hallmarking Act of 1973 and continue to ensure consumer protection for customers purchasing precious metals.
