Is Buying Gemstones (Rashi Ratna / Bhagya Ratna) Online safe?

By Team Carat and Colour, 24th February 2024

The realm of online shopping offers numerous advantages, with convenience being the foremost concern. Thanks to technological advancements and the prevalence of online shopping, the number of online shoppers has significantly expanded. Innumerable options are now available for individuals to select from the comfort of their homes. However, this convenience has also led to a rise in the risk of falling victim to counterfeit gemstones. Consequently, many people are reluctant to purchase colored gemstones online, making it a sensitive topic even today.
