Symbol guide
A crown in jewelry can be part of a maker trademark, as in examples for Garrard, Cardeilhac and Elkington.
Compare a crown alone with a crown over initials, in a triangle or within a shield. These combinations occur in different makers’ signatures. An English gold-standard crown and a manufacturer’s crown emblem perform different jobs.
Use the matching maker examples below to compare the full emblem and lettering. Preserve the position of a purity number relative to the device: a number inside a registration punch and a separate metal-standard number serve different roles.
