AMMAN — The Jordan Standards and Metrology Organisation (JSMO) processed around 62 tonnes of locally produced and imported gold and silver jewellery and bullion during the first half of 2026 as part of its inspection, hallmarking and legal purity verification services.
Acting Director General of JSMO Wafaa Momani told the Jordan News Agency, Petra, that the organisation hallmarked 4,850 kilogrammes of locally manufactured gold jewellery and 1,750 kilogrammes of imported gold jewellery during the reporting period.
She said JSMO also inspected 2,650 kilogrammes of gold bullion and 49,100 kilogrammes of silver bullion, while the total volume of silver jewellery processed reached 3,450 kilogrammes.
Momani added that the organisation carried out 211 inspection visits to jewellery shops and workshops during the first half of the year.
She said the use of portable X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysers during inspection campaigns has strengthened field oversight by enabling inspectors to verify instantly the legal purity of precious metals without the need to collect samples or damage the inspected items, while also improving the efficiency of inspection operations.
Momani urged consumers planning to purchase gold jewellery to ensure that each item bears the official JSMO hallmark and to request a detailed invoice showing the jeweller's name or official stamp, the date of sale, the type of jewellery, its legal purity, weight in grammes, the daily gold price according to the Jordan Jewellers Association's official bulletin, manufacturing charges and the total purchase price.
She also encouraged consumers to report any violations through JSMO's hotline, official website, the government's "Bekhedmetkom" platform or the organisation's social media channels.
