    If you want to protect your general designs, as opposed to
    individual pieces, you would have to register your designs. The law
    in Ireland is probably slightly different even from the UK but the
    first place to ask about this would be the Patent Office in Dublin

    I suspect, given the way the EU writes laws, that you may be
    breaking the law by *not* putting marks on. Judging by the amount of
    wire you must use, you should have your pieces hallmarked if you are
    selling them as 'silver'. If they are not marked, they can only be
    sold as 'white metal' even though you know that they are silver.
