Jewellery Inspection FAQs
What is jewellery inspection in India?βΎ
Jewellery inspection is independent on-site QC at Indian jewellery manufacturers covering weight & karat verification, gemstone count and quality, finish, hallmarking (BIS HUID), compliance markings and tamper-evident packing. Given high unit values we use tight AQL 0.65 / 1.0 levels and 100% piece-count for high-value SKUs.
Which cities are best for Indian jewellery sourcing inspection?βΎ
Jaipur (coloured stones, silver, fashion jewellery), Mumbai (BKC/SEEPZ β diamonds, branded gold), Surat (diamond cutting & polishing β 90% of world diamonds), Kolkata (handcrafted gold), Delhi/Noida (costume & fashion jewellery) and Coimbatore (silver findings). We cover all major hubs.
Can you verify BIS hallmark (HUID) and karat purity?βΎ
Yes. We verify the BIS hallmark, 6-digit HUID number against the BIS Care app, and use portable XRF analysers for non-destructive karat verification (22K, 18K, 14K, 925 silver, 950 platinum). For high-value parcels we coordinate with assayed BIS hallmarking centres.
How do you inspect diamonds and certified gemstones?βΎ
We verify the IGI/GIA/SGL certificate number engraved on the girdle (for diamonds 0.30 ct+), match weight & measurements to certificate, check setting integrity, and capture macro photographs of each certified stone. Kimberley Process certificates are checked for rough/polished diamond exports.
Do you check nickel release and lead/cadmium for export markets?βΎ
Yes. For EU we coordinate EN 1811 nickel release testing (<0.5 Β΅g/cmΒ²/week for skin-contact items, <0.2 Β΅g for piercing). For US children's jewellery we arrange CPSC lead (<100 ppm) and cadmium (<75 ppm in soluble form) testing through accredited labs (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek).
