If you've been looking for a Rakhi gift for your sister, you've probably noticed jewellery brands advertising offers like “20% off”, “30% off” or even more.

But when it comes to diamond jewellery, a discount percentage doesn't always tell you how much you're actually saving.

30% off what?

The diamond? The making charges? The entire jewellery price?

With Rakhi around the corner, and Nodes of Destiny offering 30% off on diamond prices and making charges till 31 August, here's a simple guide to understanding how diamond jewellery is priced in India — and exactly how this Rakhi offer works.

How is diamond jewellery priced in India?

The final price of a piece of diamond jewellery is usually made up of multiple components.

1. Diamond price

The diamond itself is one of the key components.

Its value can depend on its carat weight, cut, colour, clarity and shape. Two diamonds of the same carat weight can therefore have different prices depending on their specifications.

With jewellery containing multiple diamonds, such as earrings or tennis bracelets, the number and quality of the individual diamonds also contribute to the overall value.

2. Gold or metal price

The metal used in the jewellery is another component of the price.

For gold jewellery, this will depend on the purity, weight and applicable gold rate.

This is why a diamond piece cannot be compared purely on its diamond price. The metal and the amount of craftsmanship involved matter too.

3. Making charges

Making charges cover the craftsmanship involved in turning a design into a finished piece of jewellery.

They can include processes such as manufacturing, diamond setting, finishing and other craftsmanship involved in creating the piece.

A simple solitaire ring and an intricate diamond bracelet, for example, can have very different making charges.

4. GST and other applicable charges

The final bill may also include applicable certification or other charges, along with GST as per prevailing regulations.

So when you see the final price of a diamond ring or pair of earrings, you're looking at several components coming together.

So, what does 30% off actually mean?

This is where it gets interesting.

30% off the diamond price and making charges is not necessarily 30% off the final jewellery price.

Here's a simple example.

Imagine a piece has:

• Diamond value: ₹50,000
• Making charges: ₹20,000
• Metal value: ₹30,000

The diamond + making component is ₹70,000.

A 30% discount on those components would mean a saving of ₹21,000.

The metal component isn't included in that particular discount.

This distinction is important because jewellery discounts aren't always applied to every component of a piece.

So rather than simply asking:

“How much is the discount?”

Ask:

“What exactly is the discount applicable on?”

That's the number that actually matters.

Why do jewellery brands offer discounts?

Jewellery discounts can be part of festive campaigns, seasonal promotions, collection launches or customer acquisition initiatives.

But a discount is only useful when you understand the price it is being applied to.

That's why price transparency matters.

Before buying diamond jewellery, it helps to understand:

• What diamond you're buying
• Its specifications and certification
• How much the diamond costs
• How much the metal costs
• What the making charges are
• What the discount applies to
• What the final payable amount is

The bigger the percentage, the more important this becomes.

What makes NOD's Rakhi offer different?

For Rakhi, Nodes of Destiny is offering 30% off on diamond prices and making charges until 31 August 2026.

That means the offer is applied specifically to two components of your jewellery:

Diamond price + Making charges

So whether you're looking for a pair of diamond earrings for your sister, a pendant, a ring or something to wear every day, you can see exactly where the saving comes from.

And there's no need to wait for Rakhi itself.

The offer is valid till 31 August 2026.

Why buy diamond jewellery for Rakhi?

Rakhi has traditionally been about the thread.

But the relationship it represents is much bigger.

The inside jokes. The arguments. Growing up together. Showing up for each other. Becoming the people you are today.

A diamond can be a way of marking that relationship — not just because it's valuable, but because some relationships deserve something that lasts.

And it doesn't have to be a traditional Rakhi gift.

A pair of everyday diamond studs.
A delicate pendant.
A bracelet she'll wear every day.
A ring that simply feels like her.

The right gift isn't necessarily the biggest one.

It's the one she'll keep reaching for.
