How Hallmarking & Certification Matter When You Buy Gold Jewellery
Gold has always been one of the most trusted forms of investment in India. Beyond beauty and tradition, people choose gold because of its lasting value. But with so many options available, how do you make sure what you are buying is truly authentic? This is where hallmarking and certification come in. At Bhima Jewellery, we believe these are not just marks, but promises of purity and trust.
What Is Hallmarking?
Hallmarking is the official system of certifying the purity and fineness of gold. In India, this is done by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). Every hallmarked piece carries specific marks:
- BIS Logo – The assurance of government-approved purity.
- Purity/Fineness Mark – For example, 916 for 22K gold, 750 for 18K gold.
- Assaying Centre Mark – Identification of the certified testing centre.
- Jeweller’s Identification Mark / HUID – A unique code for traceability.
These symbols are engraved on the jewellery to guarantee its authenticity.
Why Hallmarking Matters
- Assurance of Purity
Hallmarking confirms the exact gold content in your jewellery, protecting you from under-carat or adulterated gold. - Trust & Transparency
Certified jewellery builds confidence between the buyer and the jeweller. At Bhima Jewellery, every piece comes with hallmarking to ensure complete peace of mind. - Resale & Exchange Value
Hallmarked gold is easier to sell or exchange because its purity is universally recognized. Non-hallmarked jewellery often faces deductions or rejection. - Legal Compliance
In India, hallmarking has been made mandatory for most categories of gold jewellery. This protects consumers and ensures fair trade practices. - Protection Against Fraud
With unique HUID codes, hallmarking makes it harder for counterfeit or substandard gold to enter the market.
The Role of Certification
Along with hallmarking, certificates of authenticity further validate the quality of gold and gemstones. For diamond and gemstone jewellery, certification confirms the cut, clarity, and authenticity of the stones. Bhima Jewellery provides such certificates so that every customer knows they are making a safe and valuable purchase.
Bhima Jewellery’s Commitment
With a legacy of trust, Bhima Jewellery has always placed quality above all. From gold coins to bridal sets, every product reflects hallmark-certified purity and comes with assurance of authenticity.
