What is Hallmark Registration ?

Hallmark registration certifies the purity of precious metals like gold, silver, and platinum. In India, this process is overseen by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to ensure that precious metal products meet the required quality standards. Hallmarking provides consumers with confidence in the quality and purity of precious metal jewellery, helping to prevent fraud and ensuring that jewellery meets minimum standards.
