A lab-grown diamond in India is priced by its carat weight and its quality. At Nivara, the price is stated plainly and is the same for everyone: a VVS clarity, E colour diamond is ₹50,000 per carat. So a 1 carat stone is about ₹50,000, with the setting and metal additional and dependent on the design.
What to look for in a lab-grown diamond
A diamond is easy to grade on paper and harder to judge in the light. Before you choose one, these are the things worth looking for.
- How it handles light. The 4Cs tell you what a diamond is. They do not tell you how it behaves on your hand. A diamond's real beauty is its brightness, its fire (the flashes of colour), and its contrast (the crisp balance of light and dark that makes it look alive). A light performance report measures exactly this, beyond the 4Cs.
- Cut, and the precision of it. Cut is where a diamond earns its light. Look for an ideal cut, and for hearts and arrows, a pattern that appears only when a diamond is cut with near perfect symmetry. It is the difference between a stone that sparkles and one that merely sits there.
- Colour and clarity you can actually name. Ask precisely what you are getting, not only the carat.
- A certificate that matches the stone. Look for an IGI report whose number is laser inscribed on the diamond itself, so the paper and the stone are one and the same.
Know these, and you can judge any diamond you are shown.
The Nivara standard
At Nivara there is one standard, and every diamond meets it.
Every Nivara diamond is VVS in clarity and E in colour. Every one is an ideal cut, hearts and arrows precise. Every one is chosen by our gemologists and passes 27 quality checks before it is ever set. And every one arrives with its own light performance report, so its brightness, fire, and contrast are not described to you. They are measured for you.
We wear diamonds to feel good, and to stand out. That should never come with a compromise. So we do not make one.
How much does a lab-grown diamond cost per carat?
Our pricing is simple, and it is the same for everyone.
A Nivara VVS E diamond is ₹50,000 per carat.
That is the standard you have just read, priced plainly. Not a figure that starts low and climbs at the counter, and not a range that shifts by who is asking. The diamond you are shown is the diamond you take home.
Lab-grown diamond price by carat in India
Because the rate is fixed, the price of the diamond follows its carat weight. Here is what a Nivara diamond costs at 1, 2 and 3 carats, for the stone alone.
| Carat weight | Nivara diamond, stone only (VVS E at ₹50,000 per carat) |
|---|---|
| 1 carat | about ₹50,000 |
| 2 carat | about ₹1,00,000 |
| 3 carat | about ₹1,50,000 |
Every figure above is for the diamond alone. The setting and the metal, whether 14k or 18k BIS-hallmarked gold or platinum at honest weight, are additional and depend on the design you choose. For the full breakdown of a single stone, read our guide to the 1 carat lab-grown diamond price, or, for larger stones, 2 and 3 carat lab-grown diamond ring prices.
Does the setting and metal change the final price?
Yes. The rate of ₹50,000 per carat is for the diamond. What you set it in is your choice, and it moves the final number. A slender solitaire band uses less metal than a wide, stone-set design. Platinum sits differently from 14k or 18k gold. This is why we price the diamond plainly and let the design tell you the rest, in person, with nothing hidden. Begin with our solitaires, or browse the wider collection of diamond rings.
Do lab-grown diamonds hold their value?
A Nivara diamond is bought to be worn, and it is looked after for as long as you own it. Should your taste change, you can exchange it at full value, or return it to us through our lifetime buyback at 100% gold value and 85% diamond value. If value is on your mind, read the honest picture of lab-grown diamond resale value. And if you are still weighing the choice itself, here is the clear comparison of lab-grown versus natural diamonds.
What makes a Nivara diamond stand out
What makes a Nivara diamond stand out is that it is chosen to. Our gemologists select for the stones that catch the eye across a room, the ones that look brilliant on a hand, not merely correct on a report.
And a Nivara diamond is cared for, for life. Every piece comes with lifetime polishing, cleaning, and our jewellery spa. We tighten prongs and maintain your piece for as long as you own it. Should you ever wish to, you can exchange it at full value, or return it to us through our lifetime buyback at 100% gold value and 85% diamond value.
A diamond chosen to stand out, kept brilliant for a lifetime, and always worth returning to. That is what a Nivara diamond is.
