The Story Behind the Shristi Ratna: Why 108 Facets Change Everything

Some numbers hold meaning beyond mathematics. In Indian thought, 108 is one such number, appearing in the beads of a mala, sacred texts, geometry, and traditions that connect the physical with the infinite.

When Ekatra created the Shristi Ratna, 108 facets became more than a design choice. They became a statement about creation, precision, and light.

A Cut Beyond Convention

A classic round brilliant diamond typically has 57 or 58 facets, each carefully positioned to influence how light enters, moves through, and returns from the stone.

The Shristi Ratna goes beyond convention with 108 precisely engineered facets. More facets create more surfaces for light to interact with, producing a distinctive play of brilliance that feels layered, dimensional, and dynamic as the stone moves.

It is a celebration of what modern lab-grown diamond jewellery can achieve when technology meets intentional design.

Why 108?

The Shristi Ratna takes its name from shristi (सृष्टि), meaning creation.

For Ekatra, 108 represents creation guided by pattern, precision, and intention. That philosophy is built into every facet of the stone.

The Shristi Ratna is designed for women who see jewellery as more than adornment and appreciate the thought, craft, and meaning behind what they wear.

Where Innovation Meets Craft

The Shristi Ratna is created using a lab-grown diamond, reflecting Ekatra's approach to modern luxury.

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds with the same fundamental chemical composition, hardness, and optical properties as natural diamonds. They can also be independently graded by recognised gemological institutions such as IGI.

At Ekatra, lab-grown diamonds are part of a considered approach to luxury that brings together design, innovation, transparency, and conscious craftsmanship.

The Shristi Ratna in Jewellery

The Shristi Ratna brings its distinctive brilliance to diamond jewellery for women, including rings, solitaire-inspired designs, pendants, earrings, and bracelets.

Every piece is designed around the stone, allowing its 108-facet architecture to remain the focus. Carefully considered gold, proportions, and settings create jewellery that feels refined, contemporary, and enduring.

Wearing the Shristi Ratna

The Shristi Ratna is for women who want their jewellery to carry meaning as well as beauty. It brings together symbolism, science, and craftsmanship in a stone created for modern lives.

The Shristi Ratna is not simply a diamond. It is an intention, made visible.
