IGI-Certified Lab-Grown Diamond Jewellery | Nivara

Yes. Lab grown diamonds are chemically, physically and optically identical to mined diamonds. They are pure carbon in a cubic crystal structure with the same hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, the same refractive index, and the same fire and brilliance. The only difference is origin: they are grown in a controlled environment rather than extracted from the earth. Every Nivara diamond comes with an IGI certificate.

A Nivara diamond is ₹50,000 per carat, the same published rate for everyone. A 1 carat stone is ₹50,000 and a 2 carat stone is ₹1,00,000. The setting is priced separately depending on the metal and design, so you can see exactly what you are paying for the stone and what you are paying for the craft.

One standard on every piece: VVS clarity, E colour, ideal cut with hearts and arrows precision. Every stone passes 27 quality checks before it is set. There are no grade tiers at Nivara, so there is no lower quality version of a Nivara diamond and no premium one.

An IGI certificate is an independent third party grading report documenting a diamond's cut, colour, clarity, carat and growth method. Every diamond Nivara sells is IGI certified, with the report number laser inscribed on the girdle so your diamond and its paperwork can always be matched.

The IGI report number is laser inscribed on the girdle of the diamond itself. Under magnification you can read that number and check it against the certificate that ships with your piece. Paper and stone stay together for the life of the jewellery.

It ships with every Nivara diamond and goes beyond the 4Cs. The 4Cs describe what a diamond is. The light performance report shows how it behaves on the hand, grading brightness, or white light returned, fire, or flashes of colour, and contrast, the crisp balance of light and dark.

Not by eye, and not with a diamond tester, because a lab grown diamond is a diamond and registers as one. Distinguishing the two requires specialised laboratory equipment that detects growth patterns. This is why independent certification matters more than any in store claim.

Yes, for as long as you own it. Lifetime polishing, lifetime cleaning, a jewellery spa service, and prong tightening and maintenance, all included.

Round brilliant returns the most light and suits almost any setting. Oval and pear elongate the finger and read larger for their carat weight. Emerald and asscher trade sparkle for clean lines and are unforgiving of a poor stone, which is why they look their best at VVS clarity. Princess, cushion, marquise and radiant each carry their own character.

Yes. A diamond is the hardest natural material there is, and a lab grown diamond has identical hardness. For pieces worn every day we often suggest 14k gold, which is harder wearing than 18k, and settings that sit lower on the hand.

Nivara jewellery is made to order, so timelines depend on the design. Your consultant will confirm a date when you place the order, and bespoke pieces are quoted individually once the design is finalised.
