The fineness hallmark of the established sample shall be applied by the manufacturer of jewelry to jewelry and other items made of precious metals and precious stones, manufactured and restored (repaired) by them, without mandatory state assaying and hallmarking.

Manufacturers of jewelry shall have the right not to hallmark the jewelry and other products made by them from precious metals and precious stones intended for export, provided that this is provided for by the contract.

In cases where the size and location of detachable and easily separable parts of jewelry and other products made of precious metals and precious stones do not allow the imprint of the fineness hallmark of the established sample, the content of precious metal in such parts shall not be confirmed and responsibility for assaying such parts of jewelry and other products from precious metals and precious stones shall be borne by the manufacturer of these products.

On jewelry and other products made of precious metals and precious stones, consisting of several parts, made of the same precious metal, but having different fineness, an imprint of the personal hallmark of the jewelry manufacturer and the fineness hallmark of the established sample shall be applied to the main part of the product, and detachable and easily separable parts of the product shall be imprinted with the fineness hallmark of the established sample of the corresponding fineness.
