What is a Hallmark?

A hallmark is a mark or a stamp that is mostly affixed on items of trade, gold and silver items, to indicate the purity, genuineness and origin of the product. Earlier it was not mandatory, however with effect from 16.06.2021 it has been made mandatory on articles made of gold and silver.

It is highly likely that unmarked gold and silver items are not authentic and are not pure. A hallmark is the best way to identify whether a product is genuine or not. It purely provides credibility with respect to the product. Furthermore, having a hallmark on gold or silver jewelry has the advantage that it is easy to sell in the market as it describes its authenticity which is lacking in products that do not have a hallmark.

Benefits of Hallmark?

Seller:
  • Hallmarked goods are readily sold by the buyer, as are not hallmarked, an identification indicating the purity of the product.
  • It helps the seller to identify the purity of the item.
  • It helps in quick valuation of gold or silver articles.
Buyer:
  • The authenticity of the purchased product is assured.
  • BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) acts as the proof of purity of the product. Without knowing the authenticity of the item, the buyer may have to pay more than the actual cost of the product.
  • Security in respect of facing fraud.

Is it mandatory to get a Hallmark license?

The Indian government had notified the rules and regulations for hallmarking gold and silver jewelry but the decision is still pending as the government is also deciding when to make it mandatory. Many small jewelers in rural as well as urban areas are selling non-hallmarked jewellery, however, BIS has issued a warning to unregistered jewelers not to sell hallmarked and non-hallmarked jewellery.

In any case, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) warning will create awareness if there is a delay in mandatory hallmarking on the part of the government.

How to identify hallmarked jewellery?
