What the Hallmark Actually Tells You
A BIS hallmark on silver jewellery is a government-certified guarantee of purity. It confirms that the piece contains 92.5% pure silver. The mark includes the BIS logo, the purity grade (925), and the jeweller's identification mark. Without this, any claim of purity is just a claim.
Why Hallmarking Matters More on Akshaya Tritiya
Demand for silver spikes during Akshaya Tritiya. So does the supply of low-quality alloys marketed as silver. Every year, buyers spend money on pieces that look like silver but contain significantly less. The hallmark is the only objective way to verify what you are paying for.
How Smith Jewels Ensures Purity
Every piece at Smith Jewels goes through a defined process. The silver is sourced as certified 925 sterling silver from registered suppliers in Jaipur. Each piece is handcrafted by artisans who have worked with the family for years. Before listing, the silver is tested and hallmarked. We do not sell a single piece without this verification.
How to Check the Hallmark Yourself
Look at the inside of rings, the back of earring posts, the clasp area of necklaces, or the inner surface of bangles. Use a magnifying glass if needed. You should see the 925 mark clearly stamped. If the mark is missing, smudged, or suspiciously faint, ask the seller directly. A transparent seller will show you the hallmark certificate.
The Cost of Buying Without Proof
A piece without a hallmark may cost less upfront. But if it is not 925, it will discolour faster, cause skin reactions, and lose value. On a day meant to bring lasting prosperity, buying unverified silver defeats the purpose. Spend on certainty. That is what Akshaya Tritiya is about.
Every Smith Jewels piece is BIS hallmarked 925 sterling silver. No exceptions. Shop with certainty at smithjewels.com
