Vivian Alexander Luxury Blog

A few of you have written and asked about the details of the markings on our ornaments. The picture above is a good illustration to work with:

• Most of our ornaments are limited to a maximum of two hundred. Read the description on the individual ornaments to tell which.
• All limited series are marked with the series number ( the one pictured is three of two hundred).
• All silver ornaments are hallmarked by the creating artisan. This one is MC.
• All of our fine silver ornaments have a silver tag embedded under the enamel as required by Federal Law for precious metals. The tag must identify the maker (Vivian Alexander) and must show the quality and type of precious metal (fine silver .999).
• All of our Silver Ornaments are marked Fine Silver .999; designating them as Fine (or pure) Silver, or silver with no impurities. Sterling silver is .925; most other silver ornaments are marked sterling or silver plate.
