Illustration of the weevil hallmark surrounded by a shaped border

Weevil hallmark to the left  surrounded by a shaped border, for imported gold and silver objects. Paris 1838-1864.

Information on the left-cut weevil (Paris) hallmark and hallmark illustrations on this site are from the book Traditional French Jewellery, written by Osprey Paris antique jewellery and hallmark expert Mike Fieggen. This 300-page book, the definitive reference on French regional jewels and their hallmarks, is available in French and English in our store, on Amazon and at certain bookstores. A complete list of the various , secret little marks in the hallmarks that allow you to identify in which city an object was hallmarked, as well as a list of the dates when the assay offices were closed, are included in this book. You can thus, for the first time, locate the origin of the jewels and also date them with more precision.
