Sponsor's or Maker's Mark
Indicates the maker or sponsor of the piece of jewelry or article. In Britain, this mark consists of at least two letters within a shield, and no two marks are the same.

Its main purpose is to identify the person responsible for manufacturing the piece of sterling silver jewelry or article. Any trader may register a punch at an Assay Office and send articles for assay and marking. The Assay Office will only accept a design of the sponsor's mark if it is distinct from that of any other mark registered at that office.

Leon Nussbaum is our London silversmith. All of his jewelry and collectible pieces contain his mark.
