Frequently Asked Questions
We have put together some commonly asked questions to give you more information about gold and gold jewellery.
- The correct determination and formal recording of the proportional quantity of precious metal in precious metal products is known as hallmarking. Thus, hallmarks are official markings used in India to ensure the purity or fineness of precious metal items.
- In India, at present two precious metals namely gold and silver have been brought under the purview of Hallmarking
- Provide third party assurance and satisfaction that customer gets right purity of gold (or silver) for the given price (value for money).
- Rose gold, often known as pink gold, is made by combining pure 24KT gold with copper. By nature, pure 24KT gold has a bright golden tint, whereas copper has red tones. By fusing the two metals together, karat gold with a pink rose colour is created. Silver is occasionally added to copper to improve its workability and durability. Typically, 18KT rose gold is 75% pure gold combined with 25% copper, whereas 14KT rose gold is 58.5% pure gold with 41.5% copper silver alloy.
- Handmade jewellery is jewellery that is created entirely by hand, without the use of machinery, moulds, or casting. All materials in a handcrafted piece of jewellery must be shaped, moulded, and assembled. Machine-powered cutters, drills, and lathes can be utilised as long as they are manually driven and directed by the artisan's hands. Hand crafted jewellery is the gold standard for excellent jewellery craftsmanship because it needs highly skilled labour to manually regulate equipment, materials, and temperatures to precisely handle platinum and gold.
- Gold hallmarking was not mandatory until June 16, 2021. In the first phase, 256 districts in the country were covered, with effect from June 23, 2021, and over 3 lakh gold objects were hallmarked. Gold hallmarking was permitted for six purity levels: 14 karats (KT), 18KT, 20KT, 22KT, 23KT and 24KT. All jewellery has to be hallmarked now.
- Gold objects weighing less than 2 grams such as a ring may not be hallmarked. Kundan/polki jewellery are also excluded from the BIS hallmarking programme. In such cases, jewellers must include a description of the jewellery as well as the fact that it is not hallmarked on the invoice.
- “Consumers can also check the authenticity and purity of hallmarked gold jewellery items with HUID numbers by utilising the 'verify HUID' feature in the BIS CARE app, which can be downloaded from the Google Play Store
