Hallmarking Teams
Find out more about some members of the hallmarking team below, and those based in Hatton Garden, or Heathrow. Read more about how we hallmark on our Hallmarking Methods page.
The combined experience of our teams is unrivalled. Because of our wide range of customer type, the hallmarking requests we receive are very varied (size, method, placement vary a great deal).
Sara Morrison, Supervisor Pressmarking
Sara Morrison received her Long Service Award for 40 years service. She has been a supervisor for 30 years, and has had links to the trade throughout her life. Her sisters also worked at the Assay Office, her partner is a jeweller, and her father was a diamond polisher by trade. She inherited a great interest in gem stones from him, and loves seeing and handling the variety of them, precious and semiprecious which pass through the department.
