Why 18KT gold?

18KT gold (75% pure) is the most popular karat for fine jewellery in India for three reasons: it holds its colour better than 14KT, it's significantly more durable than 22KT, and it's the minimum karat accepted for BIS hallmarking in fine jewellery. For stone-set pieces — rings, earrings, and pendants — 18KT gold provides the right balance of hardness to hold prongs securely and gold content to hold its warmth over years of wear.

Gold colours available

Yellow gold — The classic, warm tone. Works with all skin tones, especially deeper ones.
White gold — Rhodium-plated for a bright silver finish. Enhances the whiteness of DEF-colour stones.
Rose gold — A warm blush tone from the copper alloy. Particularly popular for solitaire rings and earrings.

Certified stones in 18KT gold

Every Vai Ra piece is set with either an IGI-certified lab diamond (DEF colour, VVS1 clarity, ₹35,000 per carat) or an SGL-certified moissanite (DEF colour, VVS clarity). Both are graded, conflict-free, and arrive with a physical certificate. IGI certification applies to lab diamond solitaires; SGL certification covers moissanite and non-solitaire lab diamond designs.

Frequently asked questions

Is 18KT gold good for daily wear?

Yes. 18KT gold is durable enough for daily-wear rings, earrings, and bangles. It is harder than 22KT gold (which can bend under pressure) and retains a richer colour than 14KT. At Vai Ra, we recommend 18KT as the default for all stone-set jewellery.

What does BIS hallmarked 18KT gold mean?

BIS hallmarking is India's official gold purity certification, issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards. A BIS hallmark on 18KT gold guarantees it contains exactly 75% pure gold. All Vai Ra gold jewellery carries the BIS hallmark and the "VR" maker's mark.

What is the price of 18KT gold jewellery at Vai Ra?

Prices start from ₹19,999 and vary by category, design, stone type, and carat weight. Moissanite pieces are generally lower-priced than lab diamond pieces. All prices are transparent with no hidden making charges.

Can I customise 18KT gold jewellery?

Yes. Every piece at Vai Ra can be customised in 18KT yellow, white, or rose gold. Choose your stone type, carat, cut, and setting. Ready-to-ship orders arrive in 2–4 days. Custom orders take 14 days with free pan-India shipping.

Does 18KT gold jewellery come with a certificate?

Yes. Every piece comes with BIS hallmark certification for the gold and a gemstone certificate (IGI for lab diamond solitaires, SGL for moissanite and non-solitaire designs).
