Chaitra makes IGI certified lab-grown diamond jewellery in BIS hallmarked gold in India and delivers it to Australia, insured, with import duties and taxes prepaid and included in the price. You choose a piece, a jeweller confirms the price, duties and delivery date in Australian dollars, and you pay by card through a secure link. There is nothing to pay at the door.
For Australian buyers, the strongest value is in pieces with a lot of diamond weight or an Indian design: heavy tennis bracelets, toi et moi rings and diamond mangalsutra. Every piece is made to order in 14K, 18K or 22K gold in yellow, white or rose.

Key Finding: The delivered price includes more than currency conversion: insured express shipping and 10% Australian GST. Jewellery from India pays 0% duty under the India-Australia trade agreement (ECTA). Compare it with what you would pay at home after tax, not with the India price.

Certification
Every diamond is lab-grown, E to G colour and VVS to VS clarity, and certified by IGI (International Gemological Institute). A diamond above 0.5 carat has its own IGI report; pieces with smaller diamonds have one report for the whole piece. You can check the report number on igi.org. The gold is BIS hallmarked in India with a HUID. Our guide to choosing a lab-grown jeweller lists what to check with any seller.
