Because Every Diamond Deserves the Right Spotlight
Let’s be real for a second. You’ve invested in a gorgeous, guilt-free lab grown diamond from Carat & Kin—maybe it’s a solitaire ring, a dainty pair of earrings, or that elegant lab diamond engagement ring you just can't stop staring at. But here's the catch: how do you know what it’s really worth? Whether you’re planning to insure it, resell it, or simply get peace of mind, a proper appraisal isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
So, where in Gurgaon can you get your lab grown diamond appraised without second-guessing the process, the expertise, or the intentions behind it?
Let’s walk through it.
First, What Even Is an Appraisal?
Appraisal sounds fancy, but it’s really just a professional valuation of your jewellery—one that considers the market, your piece’s specifics, and current lab grown diamond price trends. It usually includes:
A detailed description of the diamond (cut, clarity, carat, color)
Details of the metal (hallmarked gold in Carat & Kin’s case)
Photographs
Estimated market value
Replacement cost for insurance
Here’s where it gets tricky. Not all jewelers are equipped to appraise lab grown diamonds accurately. Why? Because the value metrics are a little different from mined diamonds. And while they’re chemically identical, the appraisal requires nuanced understanding of the lab grown diamond market.
Why You Shouldn’t Take Just Any Appraiser’s Word For It
You know how you wouldn't ask a general doctor to perform heart surgery? Same logic.
Appraising lab diamonds isn't just about knowing diamonds—it's about knowing these diamonds. The difference in origin (made, not mined), the pricing structure, and the increasing global demand all play a role.
In Gurgaon, where the fine jewellery scene is a mix of traditional family-run stores and modern designer boutiques, not every appraiser has caught up with the lab grown revolution. Some still undervalue these gems based on outdated assumptions.
That’s where Carat & Kin changes the game.
Get Appraised Where You Purchased
Let’s state the obvious: the best place to start? The place you bought it from.

And yes, every Carat & Kin piece comes with:

Insured shipping for added peace of mind
Prefer a Third-Party Appraisal? Here’s What to Look For
If you’re more the double-check type (no judgment, we’re the same), you might want a third-party appraiser. Gurgaon has a few reputed jewellery evaluators who understand lab grown stones. When choosing one, ask them:
Have you appraised lab grown diamonds before?
Are you using tools that distinguish between mined and lab?
Do you consider current market trends for lab grown diamonds in India?
Pro Tip: If they hesitate at any of these, that’s your cue to walk.
You deserve someone who understands:
The cost benefit (lab grown diamonds price can be 60-90% lower than mined)
Their growing global resale and insurance legitimacy
That emotional value doesn’t negate market value
Okay, But Why Appraise at All?
So you’re not selling it. You’re not even thinking of insuring it right now. Still, here are 3 good reasons to get that appraisal:
For Insurance – Accidents happen. Rings get lost. Chains break. Earrings vanish into sink drains. An appraisal helps you recover the right amount, not an outdated one.
For Resale or Upgrade – Planning to trade in your solitaire ring for a larger lab diamond? Knowing your current piece’s worth helps you negotiate fairly.
For Family Gifting or Legacy – That diamond pendant you plan to pass down? An appraisal turns sentiment into documentation.
And guess what? With Carat & Kin’s lifetime exchange, that appraisal might just come in handy when you want to evolve your style without starting from scratch.
