The Importance of Certification
The value of precious stones can be determined on the basis of the gemmological makeup, natural rarity and the finished quality. Diamonds and gemstones which may appear similar in appearance can differ in value. Experts use powerful analytical tools to detect synthetics, treatments and enhancement processes. A certificate entails the details of the item, thus providing a symbol of trust for both buyer and seller.
Exchange of gemstones should only take place when accompanied by a certificate attesting to quality. Regardless of location or marketplace, an authentic Laboratory Report is the common language of trust and confidence in the gemmological world and should be considered an essential part of any transaction. We take this responsibility very seriously.
The Importance of Certification
BIS hallmark is a system that provides certification of gold as well as silver jewellery that indicates the purity of the metal. This certification authenticates that a piece of gold jewellery purchased conforms to the standards as laid by the Bureau of Indian Standards, the national standards organization in India.
This hallmarking of gold jewellery was established in April 2000. The hallmark itself consists of a BIS logo, a 3 digit number that indicates the gold purity, the logo of the assaying centre along with the logo or the code of the jeweller and the code that indicates the hallmarking date.
The BIS hallmarking has a high reputation in the jewellery trading industry in India and is widely accepted by consumers.
