BIS Hallmarking

Your Trust is Our Treasure!ย 

At Angara, your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're committed to delivering an unparalleled jewellery experience. Every piece of jewellery is handcrafted by skilled artisans, is BIS hallmarked and comes with a brand's certificate of authenticity. Choose from three luxurious gold options - white, rose, or yellow - in 14k and 18k variants, carefully selected to complement your unique style.ย 

Want to make sure your gold is pure gold?ย 

Look for the hallmark! It's like a tiny, official stamp of approval recognised by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) to assure its fineness and purity.ย 

There are three main things to check:

1. The BIS logo: This shows it's been certified by the Indian governmentย  (resembles the shape of a little triangle.)

2. Purity / Fineness Grade

The second symbol lets you know the purity of gold jewellery. Gold in its purest form is too soft for jewelry making. That's why other metals are mixed in to give it strength and durability. This blend of gold and other metals determines the carat value. Presently, youโ€™ll get to see the purity and fineness in one of theย  following ways โ€“

  • 24K999: This means 24 parts out of 24 are pure gold, making it 99.9%ย  pure.
  • 22K916: This means 22 parts out of 24 are pure gold, making it 91.6% pure.
  • 18K750: This indicates 18 parts gold out of 24, equaling 75% pure gold.ย 
  • 14K585: This signifies 14 parts gold out of 24, resulting in 58.5% pure gold.

(Remember: The higher the carat, the purer the gold. But higher carats also mean softer gold. So, choose wisely based on your lifestyle and preference!)

3. Six digit Alphanumeric code

This HUID number is like an ID or fingerprint for your piece, and it's unique for every piece.ย ย 

At Angara, your trust is our priority. That's why every piece of gold jewellery is proudly BIS Hallmarked. This ensures you're not just buying beautiful jewellery, but also investing in authenticity and purity.

With us, you can wear your heart on your sleeve, literally!

How to Check the Purity of Your Gold Jewellery?ย 

Visit a BIS-approved jeweller or a BIS recognised Assaying and Hallmarking Centre. They can test your gold for a small fee.

Purpose of HUID:

Remember, โ€œAll that glitters is not goldโ€? Well, that's why cross-checking the purity and authenticity of gold jewellery is so important. After all, the price highly depends on it!ย 

Plus it:ย 

(i) Ensures traceability and helps address concerns about gold purity.

(ii) It automates the jewellery registration. HUID-based hallmarking streamlines the process, eliminating potential human errors.

(iii) Aids transparency, trust, and accurate valuation of gold jewellery.

(iv) Obviates the chances of unnecessary inspections.ย
