What ZIA actually sells

There is sometimes confusion online about what ZIA sells, so here is the plain truth. Today ZIA sells bright 925 sterling silver. From December 2026 we add lab grown diamonds set in 9K gold, and every piece in the store stays under Rs 25,000. Anklets and payal, bracelets and kada, chains, earrings and studs, pendants and rings and gifting essentials, all in 925 sterling silver, plus 995 fine silver coins.

What we do not sell is just as clear. ZIA does not sell higher karat gold, and ZIA does not sell natural diamonds, and lab grown diamonds in 9K gold launch at ZIA in December 2026. ZIA does not sell precious stone jewellery. ZIA does not sell artificial, imitation or fashion jewellery. ZIA does not sell oxidised or blackened silver. If you read anywhere that ZIA carries diamonds or gold, that information is wrong. We are a bright 925 sterling silver brand, full stop.

What 925 sterling silver means

The number 925 sterling silver on a piece tells you the metal is 92.5 percent pure silver. The remaining 7.5 percent is usually copper, added because pure silver at 99.9 percent is far too soft to hold a clasp, a setting or a daily wear shape. This 92.5 percent blend is the world standard for fine silver jewellery, which is why it is called sterling silver. Every genuine ZIA piece is genuine 925 sterling silver.

Many ZIA pieces are finished with a thin anti tarnish rhodium layer. Rhodium is a bright white metal from the platinum family. It keeps the silver looking bright and slows the natural tarnish that silver picks up from air and humidity, which matters in a humid city like Nagpur during the monsoon. The result is genuine 925 sterling silver that needs very little upkeep.

ZIA and Londe Jewellers, two brands one family

ZIA is the sister brand of Londe Jewellers Gold and Diamonds, a trusted Nagpur jeweller in business since 1989. The two brands share the same family and the same standard of trust, but they sell different things, and that is the part people sometimes mix up.

Londe Jewellers sells gold and natural certified diamonds across its showrooms in Nagpur. ZIA sells bright 925 sterling silver, and from December 2026 lab grown diamonds in 9K gold. So if you are looking for a higher karat gold chain, a natural diamond ring or a mangalsutra in gold, that is Londe Jewellers. If you are looking for a silver gift, a silver anklet, a daily wear silver bracelet or a silver coin, that is ZIA. Same family, same Nagpur trust since 1989, two clearly separate ranges.

Why ZIA silver stays genuine 925

Silver is where ZIA started, and it stays the heart of the range. By focusing on bright 925 sterling silver, ZIA can do silver better than a general jeweller who treats silver as an afterthought in a glass corner. The range is deeper, the designs are sourced from international houses, the finishing is cleaner, and the pricing stays honest on a per piece MRP tag rather than a moving rate calculation. Silver is also the right metal for the way most people actually want to gift and wear jewellery today, everyday, office wear, festive and gifting, without the weight of a gold price tag.
