I highly recommend their gems. I bought one and took it to a jeweler for a ring setting. He confirmed it was a high-quality stone and was shocked by the price I paid. Previously, he had tried to sell me his stone, which was priced in the lakhs. You can trust them and order with confidence.

My astrologer suggested some stones for my husband. I was worried where I will get the genuine quality from as the market is flooded with fake stones all around. But the staff at Vedic was so cooperative and patient enough to guide me and help me with the right quality. My astrologer also verified that the quality was genuine.
