The best corporate gifts are the ones people keep. A box of sweets is forgotten in a week. A fine piece of jewellery marks a work anniversary, a promotion or a long client relationship for years.
Raisoni Jauharis works with businesses that want gifts with genuine value, backed by certification and a clear price breakup. This guide is written for HR teams, founders and business owners. It covers when jewellery makes sense, gift ideas by budget, why lab grown diamond jewellery works for business gifting, GST and tax basics, how orders work and a planning calendar.
Key takeaways
- Jewellery works best for meaningful milestones such as service anniversaries, awards and key client relationships.
- 9K, 14K and 18K gold options make it easier to match a fixed per-person budget.
- IGI or HRD Antwerp certification and an itemised quote simplify approvals and audits.
- Finished jewellery attracts 3 percent GST, and tax treatment of employee gifts should be confirmed with your CA.
- Brief your jeweller 6 to 8 weeks before Diwali or year-end events.
Why jewellery makes a meaningful business gift
It lasts
Most corporate gifts are consumed or discarded quickly. Jewellery is worn and kept, so the recognition behind it lasts too.
It carries real value
Real diamond set in hallmarked gold has tangible value, unlike fashion accessories. Recipients can see the documentation that proves it.
It reflects well on your brand
A thoughtful, high-quality gift signals that your company values people and relationships.
When jewellery makes sense as a business gift
| Occasion | Why jewellery fits |
|---|---|
| Employee service milestones | 5, 10 or 25 years deserve something lasting |
| Leadership and performance awards | Recognition that is worn with pride |
| Key client relationships | A memorable thank-you for long partnerships |
| Festive gifting | Diwali, Dhanteras and year-end appreciation |
| Personal milestones | An employee's wedding or the birth of a child |
| Retirement | A keepsake to mark a career |

Why lab grown diamond jewellery works for business gifting
- Real value, visible quality. Real diamond in hallmarked gold, not fashion jewellery.
- Budget control. 9K, 14K and 18K options let you match a fixed per-person budget.
- Documentation. IGI or HRD Antwerp certification and an itemised price breakup make approvals and audits easier.
- Clear disclosure. Every diamond is identified as lab grown, so there is no confusion for recipients.
- Long-term value. Recipients benefit from lifetime buyback at 80 percent of the diamond value and up to 100 percent on gold, as per our current policy.
Tax and GST basics to discuss with your CA
GST
Finished jewellery attracts 3 percent GST on its value, including making charges. Input tax credit is generally not available on goods given away as gifts.
Employee gifts
Under the long-standing perquisite rules, gifts from an employer below ₹5,000 in aggregate in a year have been treated as a nil perquisite, while gifts above that are taxable in the employee's hands.
Check the current law
The Income-tax Act, 2025 took effect from April 2026, so confirm thresholds and treatment with your chartered accountant before finalising a gifting programme.

Tips for a successful corporate gifting programme
- Set clear tiers. Link gift value to milestones or roles so the programme feels fair.
- Keep designs timeless. Minimal designs suit a wide range of tastes.
- Include documentation. Give each recipient their invoice copy or certificate where applicable.
- Add a personal note. A short message from a leader makes the gift meaningful.
- Plan for sizes. Choose pendants, studs or bracelets where ring sizes are unknown.
