Some numbers carry weight beyond mathematics, but in Indian thought, 108 is not merely a count; it is a cosmos. It is the number of beads on a mala. The distance between the Earth and the Sun is measured in solar diameters. The sacred geometry written into temples, mantras, and the architecture of consciousness itself.
When Ekatra designed the Shristi Ratna, 108 facets were not a creative flourish. It was a declaration.
A Cut That Asks More of Itself
Most diamonds, even exceptional ones, are cut to a standard. The round, brilliant, elegant and enduring, carries 57 to 58 facets. Each facet is a decision: an angle, a relationship between light and geometry that determines how a diamond breathes.
The Shristi Ratna begins where convention ends.
With 108 precisely engineered facets, each face of this diamond is a deliberate act of craft. More facets mean more surfaces for light to enter, refract, and return. The result is not simply more sparkle. It is a different quality of light entirely. Layered, dimensional, alive in a way that shifts as the wearer moves.
This is what the finest lab-grown diamond jewellery can achieve when the design ambition matches the science. Laboratory-grown diamonds are real diamonds, chemically and optically identical to mined ones, allowing craftsmen to work with exceptional material without compromise. Every facet can be trusted. Every angle can be perfected.
Why 108? The Symbolism That Shapes the Stone
The Shristi Ratna is named for shristi (श्रृष्टि) — creation. In Sanskrit cosmology, creation is not chaos. It is pattern, intention, sacred order. The number 108 embodies this: it appears in the structure of the solar system, in the 108 Upanishads, in the classical texts of Ayurveda, and in the architecture of devotion across centuries.
To wear the Shristi Ratna is to carry that intention.
This is not spiritual marketing. It is a design philosophy made physical. Ekatra builds jewellery that understands the woman wearing it. Her intelligence, her depth, her refusal to separate beauty from meaning. The Shristi Ratna is for her.
The Laboratory Where It Begins
The Shristi Ratna is crafted entirely in the lab — a choice rooted in clarity of conscience and excellence of craft.
Laboratory-created diamonds are grown through advanced technological processes that replicate the conditions under which natural diamonds form. The result: a diamond with the same hardness (10 on the Mohs scale), the same refractive index, the same chemical composition. There is no visual or structural difference. What changes is the story of its origin.
At Ekatra, engineered diamonds are not a compromise. They are the foundation of a modern luxury philosophy, one that refuses to accept that extraordinary beauty must come at ethical cost.
The best lab-grown diamonds are precisely cut, graded to the same international standards by institutions like IGI and GIA, and set with the same care as any fine diamond jewellery in the world.
The Shristi Ratna in Jewellery Form
Ekatra's Shristi Ratna collection translates this singular stone into diamond jewellery for women who understand what design is.
The stone anchors solitaire diamond settings, where its 108-facet brilliance is given the space it deserves. Unobstructed, undiluted, elevated. It finds its form in lab-created diamond Jewellery that layers beautifully or stands entirely alone. It appears in pendants, rings, bracelets, and earrings, where movement amplifies its light-play.
Each piece of lab-grown diamond jewellery at Ekatra Jewels is designed with the understanding that a great stone deserves architecture worthy of it. The metal, whether 9k, 14K or 18K gold, is selected to complement the colour temperature of the stone. The setting is engineered to be secure without crowding. The proportions are calibrated for a woman who wears her jewellery, not merely displays it.
Women's diamond jewellery at Ekatra Jewels is conceived with emotional precision.
Wearing the Shristi Ratna
There is a particular kind of confidence that comes from diamond jewellery that means something.
Not the confidence of display. Not the performance of status. The quieter, more enduring confidence of a woman who knows the story behind what she wears, who chose it with intention, who understands its craft, and who recognises herself in it.
The Shristi Ratna in Ekatra’s lab-grown diamond jewellery is for those women who want something modern without being temporary. It is rooted without being ornate. It is the kind of piece that becomes an heirloom not because it is old, but because it is true.
The Shristi Ratna is not simply a stone. It is an intention made visible.

2. Is the Shristi Ratna a real diamond?
Yes. The Shristi Ratna is set with a laboratory-grown diamond, real in every scientific sense. Lab-grown diamonds share the same chemical composition, optical properties, and hardness as mined diamonds. They are graded by international gemological institutions (IGI).
3. What jewellery styles is the Shristi Ratna available in?
The Shristi Ratna is currently available as a solitaire diamond setting, lab-created diamond band, pendant silhouette, stud earrings, and bracelets. Each design allows the stone's 108-facet brilliance to have full expression.
4. Why does Ekatra use laboratory-grown diamonds?
Ekatra's philosophy is rooted in ethical clarity and intentional luxury. Laboratory-grown diamonds offer the same beauty, certification, and lasting value as mined diamonds, without ethical compromise.
