I know a solution has been given, but I can confirm that when a new or significant alteration is made to an item which would bear a hallmark, the item is likely to be given a new hallmark.

I had to have a new band fitted to my engagement ring a few years ago and it was sent to the assay office for a new hallmark. The date mark is for that year, not the year when I received it.
