(a) No article of merchandise bearing a quality or fineness mark made in whole or in part of gold or silver or of an alloy of either metal shall be sold, offered for sale, imported into, or exported from the State unless it is stamped with a trademark that has been registered under the laws of the United States or applied for registration within thirty days of being imported or offered for sale in the State. (b) Every article of merchandise which is composed of two or more parts which are complete in themselves but which are not identical in quality, and any one of the parts bears a quality mark or stamp, each other part of that article of merchandise shall bear a quality mark or stamp of like pattern and size disclosing the quality of that other part. (c) Each identifying trademark applied to any article of merchandise in compliance with this section shall be applied in a position as close as possible to the quality mark or stamp and shall be as clear and legible as the quality mark.
