Hallmarking Switzerland

Hello

Please can anyone tell me the requirements for hallmarking precious
metal jewellery for sale in Switzerland. A friend is a jeweller in
New Zealand and will be living in Switzerland for a short period and
has been commissioned to make several pieces while she is there for
her own personal clients. Any advice on regulations would be
appreciated.

Thanks
Phil

Hello Phil

I’ve only just seen this message so I’m sorry if the reply comes in
late. On the official Swiss Confederation site I have found a few
links relating to hallmarking in Switzerland that perhaps will offer
some clarification, and there are plenty of links and contact
addresses as well that your friend may find useful:

I hope this will be of some help.
