Dhanteras marks the beginning of Diwali, and for generations, it has been considered the most auspicious day to buy gold, silver, or jewellery. There is a very simple, but powerful belief for this occasion: buying precious metals on this day brings prosperity, health, and good fortune into the home.

In 2025, as jewellery buying becomes more thoughtful and value-driven, many families are considering transcending to lab-grown diamonds as a modern and a trustworthy investment in luxury.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about buying jewellery this Dhanteras, why lab-grown diamonds are the smartest choice for modern families, and how to pick the perfect piece.

History of Dhanteras – Why Dhanteras is the Best Day to Buy Jewellery

Dhanteras marks the beginning of Diwali. It comes from the words “Dhan” meaning wealth and “Teras” meaning the thirteenth day. It has always been associated with the goddess of wealth, Maa Lakshmi.

Traditionally, buying jewellery or precious metals like gold coins or ornaments on this day symbolizes attracting prosperity, health, and good fortune. However, this trend has changed to jewellery and diamonds recently, showcasing value, style, and longevity. Families are investing in designs that not only look stunning on festive days but also remain elegant for daily wear.

This is where lab-grown diamonds come in.

What Makes Lab-Grown Diamonds Special?

Let’s make one thing clear first, lab-grown diamonds are 100% real diamonds. They are created using advanced technology that uses the same processes used to produce natural diamonds, giving them the same chemical, optical, and physical properties as mined diamonds.

The only difference is:

• Better Value for Money – You get a larger, higher-quality diamond at the same budget compared to a mined diamond.
• Sustainability – Lab-grown diamonds are free from the environmental and human cost associated with traditional mining, making them eco-friendly and ethical. So, you can have zero guilt when buying a lab-grown diamond!
• Modern Luxury – It is a combination of a forward-thinking choice and the classic elegance of natural diamonds.

For families that value tradition, trust, and eliteness, lab-grown diamonds are the perfect blend of heritage and innovation.
