Gold hallmarking is a process of certifying the purity and authenticity of gold. It involves applying specific marks or stamps on gold items, that indicate its fineness, ensuring transparency and consumer protection.
These marks are recognized globally and are a testament to the purity and craftsmanship of gold. Hallmarking is a crucial process, which involves a series of tests conducted by expert assayers to verify the gold content and ensure compliance with established standards.
In India, it is mandatory for certified jewelers to sell or manufacture jewellery and artifacts. The BIS certified jewellery mark is required from registered Assay and Hallmarking centers under the Bureau of Indian Standards. Hallmarking ensures purity and fineness, with Fine Gold 999, Standard Gold 995, and gold alloys for jewellery and artifacts. The hallmarking of gold jewellery and artifacts now incorporates a six-digit alphanumeric code (AB13CD) along with the three marks marked as 22K916, 18K750, and 14K585.
Hallmarking centers can identify prohibited elements through testing, protecting end users from exploitation, adulteration, and manipulation of precious metals by both certified and non-certified jewellers.
Gold, a soft metal, needs to be mixed with other metals for jewellery because of its vulnerability to wear. This mixing makes it easier for unscrupulous traders to adulterate gold, making it difficult to detect without technical tests. The intricate design of Indian jewellery, often using a combination of high and low caratage gold, adds complexity to assessing purity. Moreover, plating lower caratage items with 24 carat gold is common. Despite awareness, consumers face cheating.
To protect them, the Government of India assigned the Reserve Bank of India's Standing Committee on Gold and Precious Metals to standardize gold and introduce hallmarking. The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) became the sole authority for implementing the hallmarking scheme in 2000. This initiative aims to safeguard consumers, enhance export competitiveness, and position India as a leading global market for gold jewellery.
