Chaitra makes IGI certified lab-grown diamond jewellery in BIS hallmarked gold in India and delivers it to the USA, 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 US dollars, and you pay by card through a secure link. There is nothing to pay at the door.
For US buyers, the strongest value is in pieces where the diamond weight is high: tennis bracelets of 4 carats and more, toi et moi rings and 2 carat solitaires. If you are buying a mangalsutra for a wedding or for a family member, it is made to order in the same designs we sell in India.

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.
