What Is A Lab Milk Run

A lab milk run is a scheduled logistics route that regularly collects jewellery from jewellers and delivers it to testing laboratories for hallmark certification — and then brings the certified inventory back, all in tracked, insured, secure cycles.

What Is Hallmarking

Hallmarking verifies the purity of gold and precious metals through BIS-certified laboratories. The process ensures jewellery meets regulated quality standards before it is sold — with each piece stamped with the official hallmark indicating its tested purity.

How BVC Supports The Process
