Micro weights are easy to misread on a kitchen scale—use a 0.01 g jewellery scale for a reliable estimate.
At micro weights, a 0.01 g jewellery scale beats a kitchen scale; hallmarks can be hard to read on very small findings.

Weighing & sorting tips (UK)
- Check for 375 / 585 / 750 stamps with a loupe—partially worn UK hallmarks still appear on older pieces.
- If your pieces are mixed fineness, weigh each stamp separately—375, 585, and 750 should not share one total.
