2. Hallmarking: 

The hallmark is a print forged on jewelry to certify the purity of the metals and stones like gold, silver, diamond, etc.

It proves that the jewelry has gone through several tests to prove its genuineness. Pure gold jewelry has a hallmark signifying its karat count. 

The Ministry of Finance in India has declared via the press that gold hallmarking is mandatory. This rule helps you to get consumer protection. 

So, if a shop declines to show a hallmark on a piece of jewelry, leave the shop.
