"Trust Mark" by AIGJTF


All India Gems and Jewellery Trade Federation have made a very good effort in organising the Jewellery industry where in gold rate and purity of gold/diamond jewellery is concerned.Jewellers would need to apply for the Trust Mark at AIGJTF and the member jewellers having the "Trust Mark" logo in their showroom would need to follow a standardised gold buying and selling rate. Also these showrooms would deemed to have the License for selling BIS ( Bureau of Indian Standards ) Hallmarked Jewellery . So the consumers can benefit from the uniformity of gold rates and stop worrying about being overcharged.

But, hang on , just read the fine print below that clearly says, Disclaimer: While stating that a member jeweller has been found to confirm to the strict standards prescribed by AIGJTF under "Trust Mark", GJF deos not assume nor is GJF deemed to assume any responsibility whatsoever with regard to the purity, content or quality of any product sold by such jeweller.

So in simple words, the consumer should always be careful when buying jewellery and AIGJTF cannot be held responsible or guarantee for any inferior goods sold by the jewellers having the "Trust Mark".

P.S : Having license to sell Hallmarked Jewellery does not necessarily means that all the jewellery in the particular showroom is Hallmarked Jewellery. Main reason for this is that its not practically possible to test and hallmark each small items in the showroom.
