Lifetime buyback

A lab-grown diamond piece from Chaitra keeps a clear, written value for life. Whenever you want to sell it back, we buy it at the current market value of its diamonds and gold, with the deductions below. There is no expiry date and no cap on what you can recover.

How we value your piece

Component What we pay
Gold 100% of the current market value of the gold weight, at its purity
Diamonds Current market value of the same certified diamond, less 15%
Pickup ₹1,000 for insured pickup and handling
Missing certificate ₹5,000 per diamond certificate not returned with the piece

Making charges and GST are not part of the buyback value. We use the day's published gold rate and current market prices for diamonds of the same certified grade.

Take cash, or a bonus towards a new piece

  • Cash. We pay the buyback value by bank transfer to your account.
  • Put it towards a new Chaitra piece and we add a bonus of 5% of the diamond value, and waive the ₹1,000 pickup fee. See lifetime exchange.

An example

Say you return a ring with 3 g of 18K gold and a 1 carat diamond. On the day, the gold is worth ₹30,000 and the same certified diamond is worth ₹20,000. These numbers are only for illustration.

Gold at 100% ₹30,000
Diamond, ₹20,000 less 15% ₹17,000
Pickup fee −₹1,000
Buyback, paid to your bank ₹46,000
Or as credit on a new piece (no pickup fee, plus 5% of the diamond value) ₹48,000

How it works

  1. Message us on WhatsApp +91 90199 21267 or email shine@chaitra.co with your order number.
  2. We send you a written valuation, using that day's rates.
  3. Once you approve it, we collect the piece from your door, fully insured.
  4. We check the gold and diamonds against your certificate and invoice.
  5. We pay you by bank transfer, or add the credit to your new order.

If our inspection finds damage, such as a chipped diamond or missing stones, we tell you the revised value before going ahead. You can say no and we return the piece to you.
