FASHION JEWELLERY COMPLIANCE & SCRAP GOLD ANALYSIS FROM THE LABORATORY

Visitors to Spring Fair who trade in costume jewellery and accessories need to understand increasingly demanding legislation, and growing concerns about nickel, lead, cadmium and other potentially harmful metals. The Laboratory at The Birmingham Assay Office is Europe’s leading test house for nickel and has recently expanded its facilities to increase its testing capacity.

Tests appropriate to textiles, such as colour fastness, are also offered so customers can be assured that an article is safe and compliant in every respect after testing at The Birmingham Assay Office. The Laboratory also continues to offer a rapid melting service for precious metal scrap, including platinum, giving customers more opportunity to shop around for the best price when selling a bar endorsed by a Birmingham Assay Office assay report.
