Updated October 2026. This guide separates seller claims, laboratory documentation and buyer checks. All quoted prices and terms should be confirmed on the linked current pages.
What does from ₹15 per bead mean?
GemKrishna’s current Rudraksha buying page shows selected 4, 5 and 6 mukhi variants from ₹15 per bead, including some Indonesian and Nepal size bands. This is a starting variant price, not a universal price for every bead, every size or every laboratory report. The page offers 49 types and size-specific prices.
Why prices differ by mukhi, origin and size
The number of natural mukhi, bead size in millimetres, origin claim and relative scarcity affect listed prices. Higher mukhi, unusually large, or special-form specimens may cost substantially more. Compare the same type and size before inferring which seller offers better value.
Individual GJSPC lab report charges
The loose-bead terms state that beads priced ₹1,000 or more include an individual GJSPC report. A bead under ₹1,000 requires an optional ₹150-per-bead addition if the buyer wants an individual report. For example, a ₹15 bead with that report totals ₹165 before any separate charges. A sample report reference on a card is not the report for the exact bead being purchased.
What about X-rays?
Premium beads priced above ₹1,999 include an X-ray report according to the page. For other loose beads, buyers should request availability, price and added lead time through GemKrishna’s contact page. An X-ray helps a laboratory examine internal features but cannot certify spiritual or astrological results.
How to place an informed order
Open the Rudraksha page, select a type and origin, and choose the actual size in millimetres. Review the price and report status for that variant. Add individual testing if available and desired; confirm X-ray arrangements separately when necessary. Save the selected bead specifications, total, and authenticity terms at checkout.
What about Rudraksha bracelets and malas?
GemKrishna offers custom Rudraksha bracelets as well as mala and kantha options. The loose-bead report pricing does not automatically apply to assembled pieces. Check the specific builder page for individual bead choices, sizing, report scope and finishing materials.
Is a ₹15 Rudraksha necessarily fake?
No: price alone is neither proof nor disproof of natural Rudraksha. A rare high-mukhi specimen demands more scrutiny than a common inexpensive bead, but even a premium price does not guarantee accuracy. Use identifying details and, where justified, independent documentation.
Verification and after-sales
GemKrishna advertises a lifetime authenticity-related refund promise on its Rudraksha page. Read the live conditions rather than treating the headline as unconditional. Verify a report via GJSPC’s official website and check it against the delivered item. This article reports seller-published terms and does not certify the specific merchandise.
