I you have a jewelers saw frame, and a bench cutting pin, (wood piece with a V notch in from the end to make the cutting easier by supporting both sides of the material being cut. Best case/easiest/cheapest would be come up with a fancy pierced hands design. Would be the focal point and you could have your makers mark on the surface.
Don't know what restrictions they have on using your markers mark over there, on this side people use them on everthing including hand forged blacksmithing items.

Depending on the size of the clock face a 1"x3" 25mmx75mm piece of silver, would probably work for you.

PTsideshow - I was thinking a nicely pierced set of hands would look good but I`m not sure I could bring myself to cut out all that sterling silver from the gaps!! :lol: :drool:

PTsideshow:
Depending on the design , of the cut outs you end up with a small nice pair of sterling earrings for somebody. Circles and half moom shapes lend them self nicely to danglely style drop either stacked or individually.Here is a set that Somebody on another site used for a model of 640mm and 960mm hands welded up from flat,strip and round forged stock for an old large clock face now used as wall decoration focal point in a restaurant, The hands are placed in the position like the name of the restaurant something like five 0 five or something close.

You can minimize the saw filings/waste by careful thought and design which can be done in file folder card stock first! :clap:

Hi krv3000, thanks for the info. Just from reading the Assay Hall information documents on their website, I believe the compulsory ones are actually Sponsors Mark, Assay Hall and Purity standard Mark (995 for Sterling Silver).
The date mark I believe is now optional and I`m pretty sure the fine purity mark is also optional.
