What the Hallmark Actually Tells You
A 925 hallmark on silver jewellery is a declaration of purity. It tells you that the piece contains 92.5% pure silver. The same 925 should appear on the listing and the invoice.
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. Check the hallmark first, so you know 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 an authenticity 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 sterling silver, stamped 925. No exceptions. Shop with certainty at smithjewels.com
