Most "silver" jewellery isn't silver.

German silver contains 0% silver. Silver-plated pieces have a thin coating over cheap metal. And plenty of sellers stamp "925" without any certification to back it up.

You've probably bought silver before and wondered: is this actually real?

There's one thing that answers that question definitively. Not the price tag. Not the brand name. Not how shiny it looks.

The hallmark.

From the founder of Smith Jewels

I'm Nandita. I make 925 hallmarked silver jewellery in Jaipur. Handcrafted, certified, and built to be worn every day.

I made this guide because I've seen too many women spend real money on fake silver. The hallmark is the one thing that can't be faked, and once you know how to read it, nobody can fool you.

This isn't a sales pitch. It's the same information I'd give a friend.

41,000+ women across India already trust Smith Jewels.

Know your silver. Trust no one's word for it.

Real Silver. Made to be worn every day. — smithjewels.com
