"How much does Polki actually cost?" is one of the most common questions we get, and it's a fair one. Polki pricing isn't as straightforward as looking at a per-carat rate the way it is with a solitaire ring. A single choker can range from under two lakh to well over ten lakh, and understanding why will help you shop smarter, whether you're buying a pair of jhumkas for a sangeet or a full bridal set for your wedding.
Here's a real, practical breakdown of what lab grown Polki costs in 2026, category by category.
What Actually Drives Lab Grown Polki Pricing
Before the numbers, it helps to know what you're actually paying for. Four things determine the final price of any Polki piece:
Diamond weight and clarity. More stones, larger stones, and higher clarity all push the price up. Lab grown Polki diamonds cost meaningfully less than natural uncut diamonds of the same clarity, which is exactly why bigger, more elaborate pieces have become realistic for far more buyers.
Gold weight and purity. Polki settings use a fair amount of gold compared to prong-set jewellery, since the stones sit in a solid gold base rather than thin prongs. Heavier pieces like chokers and bangles naturally cost more simply because of the gold weight involved, and 18K pieces will cost more than 14K at the same design.
Craftsmanship. Genuine Jadau work is slow, handmade, and skill-intensive. Intricate florals, layered chandelier earrings, and detailed enamel work on the reverse side all add to the price, since more hours go into making them.
Extra elements. Pearls, coloured stones like emeralds and rubies, and Meenakari enamelling all add cost on top of the base diamond and gold price.
Lab Grown Polki Earrings: Studs, Danglers and Jhumkas
Earrings are usually the most accessible entry point into Polki, and the range here is wide depending on size and detail.
Simple Polki studs and small earrings typically fall between ₹65,000 and ₹1,00,000. These work well for everyday festive wear or as a first Polki purchase.
Polki danglers and jhumkas with more detailing, pearl drops, or coloured stone accents usually run between ₹1,00,000 and ₹2,50,000.
Statement chandelier earrings, the kind built for a wedding-day look, can go from ₹2,50,000 up to ₹3,50,000 or more, depending on size and the amount of Jadau work involved.
Lab Grown Polki Chokers and Necklaces
This is where the price range opens up considerably, since necklaces carry both more diamond weight and significantly more gold.
Simpler Polki choker necklaces start around ₹1,75,000 to ₹2,50,000.
Mid-range designer chokers, often with pearl or coloured stone work, typically fall between ₹2,50,000 and ₹6,50,000.
Heavy bridal necklaces, especially enamelled pieces with extensive Meenakari work on the back, can cross ₹10,00,000, with some of the most elaborate designs going beyond ₹12,00,000.
Lab Grown Polki Bangles and Bridal Sets
Bangles carry a lot of gold weight, so bridal Polki bangles typically start around ₹7,50,000 and move upward depending on width and stone density.
Full bridal sets, meaning a matching necklace and earring set, usually range from ₹4,00,000 for a lighter combination to well over ₹12,00,000 for a complete statement set with dense stone work and matching pieces.

Lab Grown Polki vs Natural Polki: The Real Savings
The biggest reason lab grown Polki has taken off is straightforward: it lets you get a significantly larger, more elaborate piece for the same budget that would only stretch to a modest natural Polki design. Because lab grown diamonds cost less to produce than mined stones of comparable size and clarity, that saving passes directly to you, often letting a full bridal set become realistic where it wouldn't have been with natural stones. You're not compromising on the look. Lab grown Polki uses real, ethically grown real diamonds set with the exact same Jadau technique, so the heritage glow is identical.
How to Get the Best Value on Lab Grown Polki
Choose 14K over 18K if budget matters more than gold purity. Both are BIS hallmarked and perfectly durable for regular wear; 18K simply carries a higher gold cost.
Check ready-to-ship collections. Pieces already in stock often skip customisation charges and long production timelines, and can work out more cost-effective if the design fits what you're looking for.
Buy a set instead of pieces separately. A matched necklace and earring set is usually more cost-efficient than buying two standalone statement pieces that don't coordinate.
Always confirm certification and buyback terms before comparing prices. A lower quote with no IGI or SGL certificate, or a vague buyback policy, isn't a better deal. It's a different, less transparent product, and it's not a fair comparison to a certified piece.

Does 14K or 18K gold affect the price of Polki jewellery?
