Trusted Jewelers, Informed Shopping
What is the Trust Portal?
As the Konya Goldsmiths and Jewelers Association, we created the Trust Portal to strengthen transparency, consumer awareness and trust in the jewelry sector. The Trust Portal is a digital information system that lets the public find out about jewelry businesses registered with our association.
Registered Business Information
Find out about businesses registered with our association; scan the KSD QR code in the store to see the business's current association registration.
Informed Shopping
Access information that helps you make informed decisions when shopping for jewelry.
Reporting and Contact
Contact our association directly about suspicious products and possible consumer harm.
When buying gold, check not only the product but also whether the business you are buying from is registered with the association.
Our aim is not merely to sell gold, but to keep trust alive.
The Trust Portal does not automatically guarantee the fineness or authenticity of products. Nor does association membership mean that all of a business's products have been approved.
Trust is the most precious heritage of the jeweler's trade.
