From the stone to the setting
Jaipur has cut and traded colored stones for centuries; its jewelry workshops know how to choose a cabochon, match a pair and build a setting that holds. That know-how is what our partner workshops bring to your collection.
Stones are selected for size, color and quality before setting, then set in bezels or prongs made for them. On the prototype you approve the stone, its color range and the setting — the references your production run is checked against.
Stones we work with
A selection of what brands most often ask for. Other stones can be sourced on request.
Translucent stones
Carnelian, rose quartz, amethyst, chalcedony — cabochon or faceted, with light that changes with the metal behind them.
Rock crystal & faceted drops
Clear quartz cut in teardrops, ovals or briolettes, for earrings and pendants that catch light.
Your own stones
Stones you source yourself can be supplied for setting; we confirm sizes and tolerances first.
What we agree for set pieces
Written down before production, checked on the approved sample.
- Stone type
- Gemstone name, and whether it is natural, treated (for example dyed or stabilized) or synthetic — so it can be described correctly to your customers.
- Size and cut
- Dimensions in millimeters and the cut — cabochon, faceted, briolette, slice — with an acceptable tolerance.
- Color range
- Matched to a reference stone or photo. Natural stones vary from one to the next, so we agree an acceptable range on the sample.
- Setting
- Bezel, prong or another style, chosen for the stone, the design and how the piece is worn.
- Plating sequence
- Some stones should not go through a plating bath; they are set after plating. The sequence is fixed during prototyping.
- Matching
- For pairs and series, how closely stones must match in color and pattern from piece to piece.
About stones
Do you source the stones, or can I supply them?
Both. Jaipur is one of the world's main centers of the colored-stone trade, so stones can be sourced locally for your order. You can also supply your own; we confirm sizes, cuts and tolerances before setting.
How are stones described on the quote?
By name, size, cut and whether they are natural, treated or synthetic. That lets you describe your pieces accurately in your market — and avoids surprises between the sample and the production run.
Will every stone look the same across a run?
Natural stones vary — that is part of their appeal. We agree an acceptable range of color and pattern on the approved sample, and select stones for production against it. For pairs of earrings, stones are matched to each other.
What quantities work for pieces with stones?
Our natural run is about 30 to 100 pieces per design, which suits statement pieces well. Availability of a given stone in a given size can affect quantities; we confirm it in your quote.

Design a collection with stones
A few sketches, photos of pieces you love, or a technical file — whatever you have is enough to start. First collections are welcome; you do not need a final budget to ask.
You can send sketches, reference photos, CAD files, a quantity per design and a finish.
