Gold, Diamond, Every Piece Counted.
Jewellery retail demands daily audits, millimetre-level inventory precision, and theft-proof processes. Identium’s RFID Jewellery Management tags each piece with a near-invisible UHF inlay — trays count in seconds, try-on analytics surface, and showroom-to-vault movements are logged.

Why UHF is the right band, and what gold does to a tag
Jewellery stock control is a bulk-read problem: a whole tray has to answer together, not piece by piece. That is what makes HF 13.56 MHz and NFC a poor fit here — NFC reads one tag at a time held almost against the reader, and while HF vicinity tags (ISO 15693) do support anti-collision, the range stays at centimetre scale, which suits a single counter tap rather than a tray sweep or a doorway. Passive UHF is the practical choice: EPC Gen2, formally ISO/IEC 18000-63 and marketed as RAIN RFID — terms that apply to passive UHF only — is built to singulate many tags in a single pass, so a tray typically reconciles in one go rather than item by item. Indian deployments run on the delicensed 865–867 MHz band as of 2026; confirm the current allocation with WPC if your requirement is an unusual one. Identium manufactures these tags in New Delhi, and our UHF readers and antennas are WPC-approved for that band.
The catch is that gold, silver and platinum are metal. A UHF inlay pressed flat against a solid bangle or a broad kada detunes and loses range, and the fix is placement, not more power: a dumbbell or rat-tail tag holds the inlay off the metal instead of against it. Two habits matter on the floor. Lay a tray out in a single layer rather than nesting rings, because pieces shadow one another. And keep counter reads tight — a desktop reader’s field is deliberately short, which is the point: you want the tray in front of the reader, not the one behind it or the cabinet across the aisle.
| Tag style | Suits | Watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Dumbbell / rat-tail | Rings, chains, small studs | Inlay needs to hang clear of the metal |
| Printed hang-tag | Bangles, sets, display pieces | Bulk on very delicate items |
| Sticker inlay | Boxes, certificates, paperwork | Not for direct contact with metal |
| On-metal hard tag | Safe trays, vault bins, fixtures | Larger footprint; fixed assets rather than stock |
On encoding, let the tag carry a unique serial as the primary key and keep karat, net weight, hallmark and price in the database against that serial. Pieces come back from the karigar repolished, resized or re-set and the weight changes, so make re-tagging and re-verification a defined step rather than an exception. At the vault doorway, tune the gate power down until it stops picking up the nearest display case: a showroom is a small room, and an over-powered portal causes more trouble than a missed read. Every read range here is typical rather than guaranteed — the piece, the tag placement, the metal around it and the reader setup all move it.
