Hallmarking
- Assurance of quality: Gold's authenticity and purity are confirmed by hallmarks.
- Purity indication: Whether it is 24-karat pure gold or a lesser karatage, hallmarks guarantee that consumers get what they paid for by indicating the purity level of the gold.
- Standards compliance: A hallmark guarantees that the metals used to create a gold item meet national and international requirements for fineness and purity, making it a reliable indicator of the item's quality and purity.
- Authenticity verification: Hallmarking distinguishes between authentic jewelry crafted from real materials and fakes and inferior goods.
- Material composition: To achieve a certain strength, durability, and color, gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are frequently alloyed with lesser metals. A hallmark ensures that a metal has been examined or verified for specific standards.
