Strong  response to mandatory silver HUID rollout

The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has reported a major boost in adoption of Unique Identification (HUID) marking for silver jewellery. Since HUID became mandatory for hallmarked silver from 1st September 2025, over 17 lakh silver articles have already been registered within just three months.

The bulk of these, nearly 90%, are in purity grades 925 and 800. Traditional Indian pieces like payals (anklets) lead in numbers, followed by silver diyas (lamps), plates, and idols. The Southern region of India accounts for the highest hallmarking activity, with Western and Eastern regions trailing.

Pralhad Joshi, Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Food and Public distribution, said, “HUID in silver jewellery hallmarking marks a significant step forward in strengthening purity assurance and eliminating fake hallmarking practices. With HUID mandatory on voluntarily (BIS) Hallmarked Silver articles, each piece carries a unique 6-digit identification code that enables complete digital traceability and enhanced consumer protection. With over 17.35 lakh articles already hallmarked under the HUID system, the initiative is driving greater transparency, accountability and confidence among consumers and stakeholders.”

HUID marks consist of a laser-engraved six-digit alphanumeric code in addition to the standard BIS certification mark and purity grade. This brings silver jewellery traceability on par with gold, allowing buyers and regulators to verify each item digitally for authenticity.

Consumers can now use the BIS CARE app (available on Android and iOS) to check crucial details like purity, type of article, and the hallmarker’s credentials. This digital traceability aims to raise transparency and crack down on fake hallmarking.

The app launch is designed to solve the “discovery fatigue” and lack of transparency often associated with traditional jewelry buying. By focusing on the 925 sterling silver and lab-grown diamond (LGD) segments, iAMORY is positioning itself at the intersection of affordability and fine jewelry.

A “Digital Counter” Experience The platform introduces several features aimed at building consumer confidence in high-value online purchases:

  • Total Transparency: Real-time access to metal purity details, diamond certifications, and clear pricing breakdowns.
  • Mobile-First Design: A seamless interface featuring AI-driven notifications, wishlists, and secure “one-tap” checkouts.
  • Exclusive Access: App users will receive priority access to limited product drops and specialized discounts not available on the web or in-store.

Archit Jain of iAMORY noted that the power dynamic in the industry is shifting. “Digital adoption is democratizing jewelry,” Jain stated. “It is shifting power from family-led counters to digital-first, design-led brands that prioritize transparency, speed, and storytelling.” He describes the app as a “digital counter” where users can instantly compare prices and access social proof.

iAMORY plans to continuously iterate on the app experience, with upcoming updates slated to include advanced personalization tools, AI-driven loyalty mechanisms, and interactive content formats to deepen customer engagement.
