Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — 100% real. Lab grown diamonds have the exact same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. Same hardness (10/10 Mohs), same brilliance, same fire. The only difference is origin — a controlled environment vs. billions of years underground.

No — not with the naked eye or standard jewellery equipment. Even gemologists cannot distinguish them without specialised equipment. They are certified by IGI (International Gemological Institute).

We provide a 90% exchange value on lab grown diamond and gold jewellery. However, the purchase price is 40–60% lower, so the absolute value retained is comparable. We recommend thinking of diamond jewellery as a personal purchase, not an investment.

Price = (Gold weight in grams × today's gold rate) + Making charges + Diamond price + 3% GST. The full breakdown is visible on every product page. Prices update live when you change purity.

22KT gold is 91.6% pure — it is too soft to hold prong or bezel settings securely. 14KT and 18KT gold contain alloys that make them stronger and perfect for diamond settings. We use 22KT only for plain gold jewellery like bangles, chains, and temple jewellery.

BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) Hallmarking is the government certification that guarantees the purity of gold. The hallmark stamp on the jewellery guarantees its stated karat value — 14KT = 58.5% gold, 18KT = 75% gold, 22KT = 91.6% gold.

Yes. Gold rates are updated by our team each morning based on international gold prices and INR/USD rates. The price shown on every product page reflects today's rate. Your order is locked at the rate when payment is confirmed.

Some designs are crafted individually for each customer. For these, the price shown is indicative based on current gold rates. Final price is confirmed after reviewing your specifications. No payment is charged until you approve the final quote.
