Is / are..kindly help...

All jewellery is / are hallmarked and with certificate of authenticity



I come across this line in one of the websites of jewellery, they have used 'is'

How if I write it as

All jewellery is hallmarked with a certificate of authenticity

'Jewellery' is an uncountable noun, so you should use 'is'. Unless you use 'jewellery items/pieces' then it should be 'are'. Chris

Thanks for your help but is the latter line which i wrote is correct?

Yes, yours is correct. I think the website's version has a redundant 'and'.

You need (and note the spelling of jewelry):

All jewelry is hallmarked and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

It depends upon the way of taking jewellery as whole or on the basis of no of items. To me, both are corret and I do use. Any objections?
