Tag Every Piece. Audit a Tray in Seconds.
RFID jewellery tags put a near-invisible UHF inlay on every ring, chain and bangle, so a reader counts a whole tray or showroom in one sweep — turning a daily stock audit from hours of manual counting into seconds, with a theft-proof digital record of every piece. Identium manufactures UHF RFID jewellery tags in India, tuned for the 865–868 MHz band.

Tag styles for jewellery retail
- Hang-tags — printed paper/synthetic hang-tags with an embedded UHF inlay, carrying your barcode, price and logo.
- Dumbbell / rat-tail tags — fine string tags that loop through rings and small pieces without covering them.
- Sticker inlays — discreet adhesive labels for boxes, certificates and larger items.
Every tag is encoded with a unique serial so each piece is tracked individually — the foundation of tray audits, try-on analytics and vault-to-showroom movement logs.
Why RFID jewellery tags
- Seconds-fast audits. Read an entire tray in one pass; close daily stock counts in minutes.
- Theft-proof records. Every piece has a unique identity; missing items surface instantly at audit.
- Near-invisible & light. Designed for gold, diamond and silver — no bulk, no damage.
- Made in India. Manufacturer-direct pricing, custom printing and encoding, fast turnaround.
Tags plus the full system
The tags are one part of a complete RFID Jewellery Management System — pair them with a desktop or handheld reader and stock-audit and billing software for end-to-end control. Need tags for something else? Browse all UHF RFID tags.

Specifying a jewellery tag
A jewellery tag is passive UHF — EPC Gen2, standardised as ISO/IEC 18000-63 and marketed as RAIN RFID, terms that apply to passive UHF only — because a tray has to answer as a batch. HF vicinity tags do anti-collide, but at centimetre range, which suits a single counter tap rather than a tray sweep; RFID frequencies in India works the comparison through. India’s licence-exempt allocation is 865–868 MHz under G.S.R. 853(E) of 10 December 2021, made in supersession of the 2005 rules that set 865–867 MHz. Within it, reader transmissions at the full 2 W e.r.p. are permitted only in four channels of up to 200 kHz, centred at 865.7, 866.3, 866.9 and 867.5 MHz, and the tag’s reply is specified at around −20 dBm e.r.p. Allocations are revised, so confirm the current position with WPC before you commit a specification.
Two consequences for a buyer. Reader power is capped at the same ceiling for every compliant installation in India, so what separates a showroom that reads well from one that does not is the tag, its placement and the read zone rather than transmit power. And the regional trap sits with the reader’s region setting and approval — the US/FCC band is roughly 902–928 MHz. Most modern UHF tags read across the global band, so region is usually a reader question rather than a tag one; but a jewellery inlay is small, and a small antenna can be narrower in bandwidth, so ask for the 865–868 MHz figures on the inlay datasheet rather than assuming them. Our UHF readers and antennas are WPC-approved for licence-exempt UHF RFID use in India, and Identium is BIS certified.
Decide the read point before the tag style
A jewellery inlay is deliberately small, and a small antenna captures less energy, so read distance is short by design — typical rather than guaranteed, and sensitive to nearby metal, tray density and reader setup. Size the tag to the hardest read it has to survive.
| Read point | What the tag has to do |
|---|---|
| Billing counter, desktop reader | Identify one piece, and only that piece, held close |
| Tray or vault-drawer sweep, handheld | Answer inside a dense batch, at arm’s length |
| Vault or showroom doorway | Be seen while moving, in an awkward orientation |
Then decide the tag’s working life
Is the tag consumable — cut off at the till — or does it stay with the piece and come back on an exchange or a return from the workshop? That answer sets your annual tag volume, which sits alongside tag style, chip and printing as a driver of per-piece price, and it decides whether a printed hang-tag or a sturdier reusable tag is the right starting point.
On printing, an RFID label printer prints the face artwork and encodes the inlay in a single pass. Insist on encode-and-verify, so a dead inlay is voided at the printer rather than surfacing as a shortage at the next audit. We supply the printers for that — third-party brands, not our own build — or pre-print and pre-encode to your serial scheme in Delhi. Keep the barcode and human-readable SKU on the face either way: a piece should stay identifiable without a reader.
For a quote that is right first time, send the piece types and where the tag attaches, the tag style, the face print required, any pre-encoding and serial range, your annual volume, and which read points apply.
