About Precious Metals Department
The Precious metals department is considered as one of the control departments in JSMO, providing a set of technical and surveillance services to ensure the quality of precious metals jewelry, and periodic market inspections (workshops and selling shops). Fineness testing of precious metals (platinum, gold, and silver) is conducted at the department's laboratory, and then the conforming jewels are stamped with JSMO Hallmark. This process is applied for both locally manufactured and imported jewelry.
