Hand-set, always
Every stone is set by a master goldsmith — never machine-pressed, never outsourced.
001 Our House
Made with patience, worn for a lifetime.
A small atelier in the heart of India, where every piece passes through the same pair of hands from sketch to setting.
Est. 1987 · Jaipur
Charu Mehta
Founder · Master Goldsmith
Three generations. One bench. A standard that's never been written down — but everyone in the workshop knows it by heart.
Charu Jewels began the way most things worth keeping do — quietly. A single goldsmith, a borrowed corner of a workshop, and a drawer full of sketches that would eventually become heirlooms.
Today, we still work to that pace. Every solitaire is set by hand. Every chain is woven, not stamped. Every stone is chosen in person — never sight-unseen, never rushed.
What you wear from us, you'll pass on.

002 What We Hold To
The four standards.
Conflict-free
Each diamond traceable to its mine. Every coloured stone documented from cut to setting.
Made to be passed on
We design for second wearers. Generous metal, classical proportions, repairable forever.
Looked after for life
Free polishing, restringing, and resetting on every piece — no matter how many years on.
