Pioneering Quality Standards: Cadmium-Free and Hallmarked Silver

One of Silver Emporium’s
proudest achievements
came in 2002, when the
company made a bold
decision that would set a
new standard in the Indian
silverware industry. Silver
Emporium became the
first company in India to
exclusively offer 92.5%
certified silver products
for the B2B market. This
was a significant move at a
time when quality standards
in the industry were
inconsistent, and many
retailers were hesitant to
adopt certified products.

"We launched this initiative in 2002 to manufacture products that meet international quality standards for our
customers. At that time, there were no consistent quality standards for silver in the market, leading many retail
stores to reject our products in favorfavour of items with inconsistent quality."

Despite initial resistance, Silver Emporium remained committed to raising the bar on quality. Through
exhibitions, blogs, and social media campaigns, the company embarked on a journey to educate consumers
about the importance of certified silver and the dangers of cadmium in silver products.
Over time, this initiative helped transform the industry. Today, hallmarked silver and cadmium-free silver are
seen as benchmarks of quality, thanks in large part to Silver Emporium’s pioneering efforts.
