Costume jewellery in India: what to expect and how to order

Updated 4 November 2026

In India, basic costume jewellery sets, such as a pendant with earrings, usually cost between ₹124 and ₹290. Gold-plated necklace sets run from ₹390 to ₹1,171, and kundan statement sets from ₹949 to ₹1,885. Prices depend on plating, stones and the number of pieces. To see current offers for your exact design, describe it on BlaBlaPrice and get replies from sellers who ship to your city.

Local rules and what to check

Search results on Indian jewellery law mention hallmarking and consumer protection. Hallmarking applies to precious metals, so for costume pieces ask the seller about the base metal and the plating instead of asking for a hallmark. One listing offers six months of warranty on its jewellery sets and another offers one year on fashion pieces, so ask what your seller covers before you buy and keep the invoice.

Season and occasions

The climate here is hot all year with a wet season and a dry season, so jewellery demand does not follow a winter peak. It follows occasions: weddings, festive outfits and gifts. Order a few weeks before the event and ask the seller to confirm the delivery date for your city before paying. In the wet season, keep pieces dry after use, because moisture dulls plating.

How it is sold and delivered

The listings we found quote one price per set, and a necklace with earrings counts as one item, so check how many pieces you get. Necklace and chain lengths are given in centimetres, so ask for the length in cm and the type of closure. For bulk gifts, ask for one price per set and whether the sets come packed in one box. Ask whether delivery to Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai is included in the price.

What to write in your request

Say what you need (earrings, necklace, choker, hair or fancy-dress set), the style and colour, the material you prefer, the necklace length in centimetres, the quantity, whether it is a gift, the delivery city and your budget per set in rupees. For example: "Kundan choker with earrings, gold tone, 2 sets, gift, deliver to Hyderabad, up to ₹1,000 each." The more detail you give, the fewer questions sellers ask back.
