Based on impressions from a 7th-8th century clay mould found on the Isle of Birsay, Orkney.
Solid silver. Hand carved from wax and sand cast from recycled silver and given a hand fabricated pin.
I will not hallmark silver in general and instead just stamp the reverse with my makers mark and .925 as it is below the legal requirement weight, but if you do desire full hallmarking from Edinburgh Assay office then please purchase the service HERE This service will take up to an additional two weeks. - Gold will be hallmarked as standard.
