BIS Hallmarked Gold
The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) issues a hallmark in order to certify the purity of the gold. The central government has mandated that gold be hallmarked beginning on June 16, 2021. This signifies that the purity of any gold jewellery sold by Vrij Rani Jewels in India has been verified by the BIS.
According to the government's updated hallmarking guidelines, our gold jewellery and coins now have the BIS hallmark, which consists of three symbols:
a) BIS Standard mark
b) Purity/Fineness Grade and
c) 6-digit alpha-numeric code
Here are the meanings of the three emblems and how they might benefit you as Vrij Rani Jewels customer.
Three signs on BIS hallmarked gold jewellery:
- BIS Standard mark - The BIS logo is the first indication of hallmarking on gold jewellery. A triangle forms the basis of the logo. When gold jewellery has this logo stamped on it, it means that a BIS-certified facility has examined the jewellery's purity.
- Purity/Fineness Grade - On gold jewellery, the purity mark serves as the second hallmark. This indication lets you know how pure the gold is in a certain piece of Jewellery. The price of the item of gold jewellery is also based on the purity of the gold.
- Six-digit alphanumeric code - The third indication that a piece of gold jewellery is hallmarked is a six-digit alpha numeric number carved or embossed on it. Every item of jewellery has a unique code known as a Hallmark Unique Identification (HUID) number.
