1. What Exactly is Takshila?
Takshila is a digital Client-to-Manufacturing™ platform where customers,
independent designers, and master artisans co-create one-of-a-kind fine jewelry. We replace traditional middlemen with a direct, transparent loop powered by AI design tools, 3-D printing, and real-time production updates
2. How is Takshila different from a luxury brand or custom jeweler?
Traditional houses lean on mark-ups, fixed collections, and opaque supply chains. Takshila lets you design (or commission) a unique piece in minutes, tracks every step of crafting, and delivers museum-grade quality at prices typically 30–45 % below comparable retail .
3. Do I need design skills to use the platform?
No. Type a short idea or upload a sketch and our AI Design Studio generates professional 3-D concepts you can tweak in real time . You control metals, stones, and details without any CAD experience.
4. Who makes the jewelry after I approve the design?
Each piece is 3-D-printed for precision, cast in solid gold, and hand-finished by master artisans in our vetted global network. These craftspeople earn higher-than-industry pay and receive full credit for their work.
5. How long does the process take from concept to delivery?
Initial AI concepts appear in minutes, your 3-D/AR preview is ready within hours, and finished pieces typically ship in 3–5 weeks, depending on complexity and stone sourcing .
6. Are your diamonds and metals ethical?
Yes. We use lab-grown or responsibly sourced diamonds that meet GIA or equivalent certification standards and recycle or trace all gold inputs for minimal environmental impact.
7. How much can I expect to save?
Because we buy gems at the source and skip retail mark-ups, clients usually pay 30–45 % less than they would for a comparable custom piece at a legacy brand.
8. What kind of updates will I receive while my jewelry is being made?
You’ll get time-stamped photos or short videos of key milestones—stone selection, casting, stone setting, and final polish—so you can watch your piece come to life .
9. Can designers sell on Takshila?
Absolutely. Designers upload or AI-generate models, set margins, and earn
lifetime royalties on every sale while Takshila manages production, logistics,
and customer service.
10. What if my ring size or specifications are off?
We offer one complimentary resize or minor adjustment within 60 days of delivery. Additional changes are handled at transparent, at-cost rates.
11. Where do you ship and how is my purchase protected?
Takshila ships worldwide via insured express couriers; every parcel is fully tracked and requires signature on delivery.
12. What payment methods and security do you provide?
We accept major credit cards and secure crypto options. All transactions are processed through PCI-compliant gateways with 256-bit encryption for maximum safety.
