Jewellery marketing needs an approval process as well as creative work. An unchecked claim or a review reply that exposes private information can undermine trust. This is a working list of questions to check before publication.
The rules and guidelines to check against
- BIS hallmarking with HUID for gold jewellery
- Clear disclosure of natural vs lab-grown diamonds and stone certificates
- Consumer protection guidelines on pricing transparency
These are pointers for review, not legal advice. Confirm the specifics with a qualified adviser.
What a trustworthy jewellery brand visibly shows
- BIS hallmark / HUID
- Transparent price breakdown
- Certified stones with disclosure
- Buy-back and exchange policy
Common questions to review
Is hallmarking mandatory for gold jewellery in India?
Yes. BIS hallmarking with a unique HUID is mandatory for most gold jewellery sold in India, and customers can verify it. Explaining it clearly is one of the simplest trust signals a jeweller can give.
How should jewellers show making charges?
Separately and clearly: metal weight and rate, making charges, stone value and taxes. Transparent breakdowns reduce hesitation for high-value purchases.
A quick pre-publication check
- Hallmark/HUID and stone certification are explained on product pages and in store.
- Price breakdown (metal rate, making charges, stones, GST) is shown before purchase.
- Your collections have names and stories customers remember.
