Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in an object and its resistance to acceleration (inertia). The SI base unit is the kilogram (kg), now defined by fixing the Planck constant at h = 6.62607015 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s. Mass differs from weight: weight is the gravitational force acting on a mass (measured in newtons), while mass remains constant regardless of location. Common mass units include gram (g), milligram (mg), tonne (t = 1,000 kg), pound (lb), and ounce (oz).

A vori (also spelled bhori or bori, and written as ভরি in Bengali) is a traditional unit of mass used exclusively for weighing precious metals in Bangladesh and eastern India. Equal to approximately 11.66 grams (0.411 ounce), the vori is the standard measure in Bangladeshi and Indian gold and silver markets. Bangladesh and parts of India, maintain inventory records, and discuss piece weights with customers in bhoris. The unit has been used for centuries in jewelry craftsmanship across various Indian regions and remains deeply integrated into gold trading, jewelry manufacturing, and retail sales, jewelry design specifications, and customer expectations. While South Asian countries have officially adopted the metric system, the vori continues to be widely used in the jewelry trade because of long-standing cultural traditions and established business practices.

An ounce (oz) is a unit of mass in the imperial measurement system, commonly used in the United States, United Kingdom, and other English-speaking countries. In jewelry, precious metals, and gemstones, the ounce serves as the standard for weight specification, pricing, and certification. One ounce equals approximately 28.35 grams. The ounce appears on jewelry certificates, international shipping documentation, and precious metals trading platforms. For anyone buying or selling jewelry internationally, understanding ounces is essential since most global markets and certification bodies reference ounce-based weights.
