In India, jewellery isn't just decoration it is an asset, a blessing, and a legacy passed down through generations. But buying it today is complicated. You have new rules, new stamps, and options your grandmother never had to worry about.

Is that "22K" ring actually 91.6% pure? What is this new 6-digit code everyone is talking about? And does silver really need a hallmark now?

At Pramukh Jewellers , we answer these questions every single day. And the answer is simple: if you want assurance , you need verified purity. As trusted jewellers in Anand, here is the honest guide on how to audit your gold like an expert. No fluff. Just what works.

1. The 3 Signs of a Pramukh Certified Piece

Let’s clear up a massive confusion: you might have heard that hallmarks have four or five symbols. That was the old system.

Under the 2026 HUID (Hallmark Unique Identification) regulations, valid jewellery must carry exactly three marks laser-etched on the metal. If you don't see these, walk away.

1. The BIS Logo: The official government triangle.

2. Purity Grade: We are strictly transparent here.

• • 22K916: The gold standard for weddings and investments.

  • 18K750: Perfect for diamond-studded luxury.

  • 14K585: Durable and budget-friendly.

3. The 6-Digit HUID Code: This is the game-changer. It’s a unique alphanumeric code (e.g., HU8J9K) that tracks the piece back to the jeweller.

Expert Tip: Think of the HUID as your jewellery's "Aadhaar Card." It proves the item is unique and registered.

2. Leading the Market: 2026 Updates You Must Know

While many stores are still catching up, we ensure our clients are ahead of the curve. Two massive changes happened recently that affect your wallet:

• 9K Gold is Now Regulated: As of July 2025, BIS made hallmarking mandatory even for 9K (375 Purity) gold. We welcomed this because every customer deserves safety, whether they are buying a small gift or a heavy set.

• Silver Gets HUID: Since September 2025, silver hallmarking has moved to the HUID system. If you buy silver articles for your home temple or gifting, look for the 6-digit code. It bridges the gap between spiritual devotion and smart shopping.

3. The Cost of Ignorance: Why Purity Matters

Why do we obsess over this? Because trust without proof is expensive. Buying unverified gold is like burning money.

4. The In-Store Audit

We don't expect you to just believe us we expect you to check. When you visit our showroom, follow this simple routine:

1. Request the Loupe: Hallmarks are tiny. Ask for the magnifying glass.

2. Spot the Code: Find the 6-digit HUID.

3. Use the App: Download the BIS Care App and enter the code. It will instantly show you the jeweller’s name and purity.
