Gold jewellery is a valuable purchase, so understanding jewellery hallmarks is essential before buying.
A hallmark helps customers identify the purity and authenticity of gold jewellery.

What Is a Jewellery Hallmark?
A jewellery hallmark is an official stamp on gold jewellery that indicates its purity.
In India, gold hallmarks are issued under the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
Buying from a reliable hallmark jewellery shop ensures the gold meets national quality standards.
