HUID Hallmark Jewellery: How to Identify Genuine Gold Jewellery and Avoid Fake Hallmarks

Buying gold jewellery is not only a style choice — it is also an investment. That is why every customer should understand BIS Hallmark and HUID before purchasing gold jewellery.

"At Savya Jewels, Meerut, we believe that customers should buy jewellery with complete confidence, transparency, and proper knowledge."

What is HUID in Gold Jewellery?

HUID stands for Hallmark Unique Identification Number. It is a unique 6-digit alphanumeric code marked on each hallmarked gold jewellery article. This code helps customers verify whether the jewellery is genuinely hallmarked or not.

BIS states that hallmarking includes three important markings:

BIS HALLMARK

BIS Hallmark Logo

Official certification mark

22K916
18K750
14K585

Purity Mark

Gold fineness indicator

A3B7C2

Unique alphanumeric ID

If these details are not clear or missing, you should be careful before buying.

Why is HUID Important for Customers?

HUID protects customers from fake hallmarking and wrong purity claims. Earlier, many customers trusted only the stamp on jewellery, but now customers can verify the jewellery themselves using the BIS Care App.

The official BIS Care App allows customers to verify hallmarked jewellery using the "Verify HUID" feature — before purchase, not after.

How to Check HUID on BIS Care App

1

Download the BIS Care App from Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

2

Open the app.

3

Select Verify HUID.

4

Enter the 6-digit HUID code marked on the jewellery.

5

Check the details — jewellery purity, jeweller information, licence status, and other relevant details.

Beware of Fake HUID and Fake Hallmark Jewellery

A hallmark stamp alone is not enough. Some fake or unauthorized sellers may try to put fake hallmark-like symbols on jewellery. Customers should always verify the HUID through the official BIS Care App.

Recent reports have shown that unauthorized hallmarking units have been found marking jewellery illegally without valid HUID — which is why verification is very important before purchase.

Red Flags Customers Should Notice

Jewellery does not have a 6-digit HUID.

Hallmark mark is blurry, unclear, or looks manually stamped.

Seller avoids showing the HUID.

HUID does not verify on the BIS Care App.

Purity shown in app does not match seller's claim.

Seller says, "Hallmark is there, no need to check."

A genuine jeweller will always allow customers to verify jewellery before buying.

Common Gold Purity Marks

Marking Gold Purity Meaning
22K916 91.6% Gold Common for gold jewellery
18K750 75% Gold Common for diamond jewellery
14K585 58.5% Gold Used in lightweight/diamond jewellery
24K999 99.9% Gold Mostly coins/bars, not regular jewellery
