Below the 7.78 g exemption

A single article weighs 1.9 g, which is under the 7.78 g statutory exemption weight for silver. It is therefore lawfully sold unmarked, and we state that rather than implying a mark.

03  /  Dress code

Dress codes vary by occasion and by host. These tiers are a common-practice reference, not a rule — where an invitation states something specific, follow the invitation.

04  /  Materials and skin contact

• Nickel-safe: tested to the UK REACH release limit for articles in prolonged contact with the skin (0.5 µg/cm²/week).
• Lead and cadmium content is held within UK REACH limits (lead 0.05%, cadmium 0.01%). Supplier conformity documentation is held on file.
• We do not sell ivory, and we do not use coral, tortoiseshell or any other CITES-listed material.

06  /  About this article

The older form, and the correct one with morning dress. A single pin passes through the blade of the tie behind the knot and is capped at the back.

Read this before ordering: a stick pin perforates the fabric. The hole closes up on most silks but does not disappear. If that is not acceptable, buy a clip-style tie bar instead.
