Most parents assume the small BIS stamp on a child's gold jewellery covers everything - purity, safety, even the stone. It doesn't. This episode breaks down exactly what BIS Hallmarking checks (gold purity, verified through a traceable HUID code) and exactly what it leaves out: stone authenticity, skin-safe alloy choices, and craftsmanship. For parents buying a milestone gift - a first birthday, a mundan, a Rakhi - understanding that gap matters, because a children's keepsake piece usually needs more than one certification stacked together to be genuinely safe and worth keeping.
