A hallmark, is a mark or series of marks struck on items made of precious metals - platinum, gold, silver and in some nations, palladium. In a more general sense, the term hallmark can also be used refer to any distinguishing characteristic or trait. Historically, hallmarks were applied by a trusted party: the 'guardians of the craft' or nowadays by an assay office. These marks guarantee a certain purity or fineness of the metal.
