Hallmarking & Purity: What You Need to Know Before Buying Gold
Gold is more than just jewelry—it’s an investment, a tradition, and a part of our celebrations. But how do you make sure the gold you’re buying is pure and authentic? That’s where hallmarking comes in.
What is Hallmarking?
Hallmarking is the official certification of gold’s purity. It’s a mark stamped on gold jewelry that proves the piece meets the required standards.
Why is Hallmarking Important?
- Ensures purity & authenticity
- Protects you from fraud or impurities
- Increases resale value & trust
Purity Standards You Should Know
Gold purity is measured in karats (K):
- 24K = Purest form (soft, rarely used in jewelry)
- 22K = 91.6% pure, perfect for jewelry
- 18K = 75% pure, stronger & durable
- 14K & below = More alloy, less gold
How to Identify Hallmarked Jewelry?
Look for the hallmark stamp with details like:
- BIS or recognized authority mark
- Purity (22K, 18K, etc.)
- Jeweler’s identification mark
Tip for Buyers: Always ask for hallmark-certified jewelry to ensure your gold is genuine, valuable, and safe for the future.
