How to choose your diamond — the 4Cs
- Cut — controls sparkle. A well-cut diamond reflects light beautifully even at lower colour and clarity grades. Excellent or Very Good cut is the priority.
- Colour — D (colourless) to Z (light yellow). G–H is the value sweet spot — appears white in a finished setting but costs noticeably less than D–F.
- Clarity — FL to I3. VS1–VS2 stones are eye-clean (inclusions only visible under 10x magnification) and represent the best clarity-to-price balance.
- Carat — the diamond’s weight. Pricing is non-linear: a 1 ct stone costs more than two 0.50 ct stones of similar quality. Shape can also make a stone look larger than its weight suggests.
Every Sazuna diamond above 0.18 ct ships with an SGL certificate documenting the 4Cs — an independent third-party record of exactly what you paid for.
Gold karatage options
- 14K (58.5% pure gold) — the most durable choice. Best for daily wear, men’s rings, and prong settings where stone security matters.
- 18K (75% pure gold) — the engagement-ring sweet spot. Balances purity with the strength to hold diamonds securely.
- 22K (91.6% pure gold) — maximum gold content. Ideal for ceremonial pieces and high-purity gifting.

Choosing your mangalsutra length
Most popular chain lengths are 24 to 28 inches for a comfortable everyday fit. Layered multi-line mangalsutras typically run 22 to 30 inches. Confirm preferred length when ordering — mangalsutras are made to a fixed length and cannot be resized after manufacture.
Caring for your mangalsutra
- Store separately in a soft pouch to avoid scratching against other jewellery.
- Remove before swimming, gym, gardening or any contact with harsh chemicals / chlorine.
- Wipe gently with a soft lint-free cloth after wear to maintain brilliance.
- Bring your piece to our Kathmandu showroom any time for complimentary cleaning & polishing — lifetime, on every Sazuna purchase.
