Under ₹50,000 buys diamond studs or a pendant she will wear every day. Between ₹50,000 and ₹1 lakh buys solitaire studs over a carat or a diamond bracelet. Between ₹1 and ₹2 lakh buys a solitaire ring or a diamond mangalsutra, and above ₹2 lakh a tennis bracelet or a statement necklace. At Nivara the budget changes the size, never the quality.
How budget changes a diamond gift
At Nivara there is one diamond standard, whatever the budget: every diamond is VVS in clarity, E in colour and ideal cut, chosen by our gemologists and IGI certified. So a bigger budget buys a bigger diamond or a more elaborate design, never a better stone.
Our pricing is just as plain. A Nivara VVS E diamond is ₹50,000 per carat, and the gold and setting are added to that, depending on the design. The price guide shows how it adds up.
Under ₹50,000: studs and pendants
The first diamond gift for most people, and the most worn. Studs suit every face and every outfit; a pendant works beautifully if you know her necklines.
Flora Dewbloom studs, from around ₹21,000. Gold buds with marquise diamond leaves, 0.16 carat in all. Small, bright and easy to wear.
Flora Circlet pendant, from around ₹33,000. A cluster of round diamonds shaped like a flower, 0.39 carat in all, on a fine gold chain.
More in diamond studs and pendants.
₹50,000 to ₹1,00,000: solitaire studs and bracelets
This is where a diamond starts to be noticed across a room. If she already has small studs, a bracelet is the natural next piece.
Thea Sunmist studs, from around ₹79,000. Solitaire studs with 1.06 carat of round diamonds between them. Presence without effort.
Mode Halo Ray bracelet, from around ₹57,000. A fine gold chain with diamonds set along it, 0.47 carat in all. Made for stacking with a watch or bangles.
More in diamond bracelets.
₹1,00,000 to ₹2,00,000: rings and mangalsutras
Gifts for the big moments: an engagement, a milestone anniversary, a promotion, a wedding. For a ring, a private viewing is the surest way to get the size and the setting right.
Mira emerald cut halo ring, from around ₹1,25,000. An emerald cut diamond framed in a halo of rounds, on a split band, 1.45 carat of diamonds in all.
Eira Archline mangalsutra, from around ₹1,14,000. A curve of diamonds on black beads and gold, 1.38 carat in all. For a bride, or for a mangalsutra she will wear to work.
More in rings and diamond mangalsutras.
₹2,00,000 and above: tennis bracelets and statement necklaces
At this level the gift is about exactly what she wants: the shape, the length, the way it sits. Bring references, or bring her.
Sutra oval tennis bracelet, from around ₹2,71,000. A line of oval diamonds, 5 carats in all.
Mira pear solitaire necklace, from around ₹2,56,000. A pear diamond framed in a halo, on a fine chain, 3.42 carat of diamonds in all.
More in tennis bracelets and necklaces.
A first diamond for a daughter
An eighteenth birthday, a graduation, a first job. A first diamond marks the moment she steps into her own life, so choose a piece she will still wear in twenty years, not one that belongs only to the day.
- If she dresses simply, choose small solitaire studs or a single diamond pendant.
- If she likes to be noticed, choose huggies or a pendant with some presence.
- If she layers, choose a fine diamond bracelet or a pendant on a chain she can stack.
Give her the IGI certificate along with the piece. It is the first document of her own fine jewellery, and the report number on it is inscribed on the diamond itself.
If you are unsure, choose studs
At every budget, diamond studs are the gift that is almost never wrong. They suit every face and every occasion, and they are worn every day. If the gift is a ring, a private viewing together will settle the size and the setting.
Every piece in our lab grown diamond jewellery is set with IGI certified diamonds in 14K or 18K BIS hallmarked gold.
What comes with every piece
- One diamond standard, whatever the budget: VVS clarity, E colour, ideal cut.
- IGI certification, and on solitaires the report number laser inscribed on the stone, so the paper and the diamond are one.
- 14k or 18k BIS hallmarked gold, in yellow, rose or white.
- A lifetime exchange at 100% of the current gold and diamond value, and a lifetime buyback at 100% gold and 85% diamond value.
- Lifetime polishing, cleaning and prong tightening, for as long as the piece is worn.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good diamond gift for my wife?
A piece she will wear every day: diamond studs, a solitaire pendant, a bracelet or a ring. If you are unsure of her taste, bring her to a private viewing and let her choose. Every Nivara diamond is VVS clarity, E colour and IGI certified, whatever the budget.
What diamond jewellery can I gift under ₹50,000?
Diamond studs or a diamond pendant. Nivara's Flora Dewbloom studs are around ₹21,000 and the Flora Circlet pendant around ₹33,000, both in hallmarked gold with IGI certified diamonds. At this budget, studs are the safest choice because they suit every face and every outfit.
What does ₹1 lakh buy in diamond jewellery?
Around ₹1 lakh buys solitaire studs with more than a carat of diamonds between them, a diamond bracelet, or, a little above it, a halo solitaire ring. A Nivara VVS E diamond is priced at ₹50,000 per carat, with the gold and setting on top, so you can see where the money goes.
What is a good first diamond for a daughter?
Choose a piece she will still wear in twenty years: small solitaire studs, a simple pendant or a fine bracelet. Match it to how she dresses rather than to the occasion. Give her the IGI certificate with it; it is the first document of her own fine jewellery.
Are lab grown diamonds real diamonds?
Yes. A lab grown diamond is carbon crystallised in the same structure as a mined diamond, with the same hardness, brilliance and chemistry. IGI grades both on the same scale. The difference is origin. Every Nivara diamond carries an IGI report whose number is laser inscribed on the stone.
