Our Story
Every piece of jewelry tells a story. Ours tells a story of "seven generations", a small village, golden dreams, and one bold decision that turned tradition into a revolution.

Every Silver Ocean piece leaves our Junagadh atelier with proof, not promises. This page explains exactly how we certify our jewellery as genuine 925 sterling silver — and how you can verify it yourself.
What certification does Silver Ocean provide?
Every order includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity documenting that your piece is 92.5% pure sterling silver. The certificate records the product, purity standard and date — keep it with your purchase; it is also required for our 7-day return & exchange policy.
How is 925 purity verified?
At the source
We stock imported premium 925 sterling silver jewellery and test purity before any piece reaches our shelves — a discipline inherited from SKKL (Soni Karshanji Kurji Lodhiya), our family jewellery house operating since 1951.
On the piece
Genuine sterling jewellery carries a 925 or S925 stamp, usually on the clasp, inner band or back of the pendant. Read our full 925 sterling silver guide to learn what the stamp means.
How can I verify silver myself?
- Find the stamp: look for 925 / S925 marking.
- Magnet test: silver is non-magnetic — attraction to a magnet means it is not silver.
- Tarnish behaviour: real silver develops a light patina over time and polishes back to brightness (see our silver care guide); many imitations never change.
- In-store check: visit us Opp. Baba Complex, Zanzarda Road, Junagadh — we test and clean Silver Ocean jewellery free, for life.
Frequently asked questions
Is a Certificate of Authenticity the same as a BIS hallmark?
No. A BIS hallmark is a government certification mark applied at licensed hallmarking centres, while our Certificate of Authenticity is Silver Ocean's own signed guarantee of 92.5% purity, backed by our 7-day return policy and 74-year family reputation. Many imported sterling designs carry the international 925 stamp rather than an Indian BIS mark.
What if my piece has no visible 925 stamp?
Very small items (nose pins, thin chains) sometimes lack space for a stamp. The Certificate of Authenticity covers every piece regardless, and we will verify any Silver Ocean purchase in store or over WhatsApp at +91 90230 97707.
Does gold-plated silver jewellery also get a certificate?
Yes — our gold-plated heritage pieces are plated over genuine 925 sterling silver and are certified for the silver base.
