Custom Gemstone Cutting

Natural Gemstones, Cut to Your Specification in Jaipur.

We cut natural gemstones to order for jewellery manufacturers, designers and private label brands — calibrated sizes for production runs, custom shapes cut from your drawing, hand carvings, cabochons, beads and briolettes. Shah Gems has worked in Jaipur, the centre of the world's coloured-gemstone cutting trade, since 1984. We cut gemstones in-house for our own jewelry production — so every stone we cut for you is cut with the jewelry use mindset.

Calibrated to your settings.

Stones cut to standard calibrated millimetre sizes in round, oval, pear, cushion, marquise, octagon and other shapes, matched for size and colour across the order, so they drop into cast settings without rework.

Custom shapes, cut from your drawing.

Four-leaf clovers and other custom outlines that no one keeps in stock. Send a sketch, a reference photo, or the CAD file of your setting — we cut the stone to fit the seat.

Hand carvings.

Moon, Animals, Sea shells and other carved motifs in natural gemstones, carved to your reference for pendants, charms and signature pieces.

Cabochons, beads and briolettes.

Calibrated cabochons in any outline, drilled beads, briolettes and drops for stringing, dangles and bead work.

Your rough, or ours.

We cut from our own rough, or cut rough you supply to your sizes and shapes and return the finished stones.

Natural stones, disclosed.

Every stone is a natural gemstone. Treatments are disclosed, and independent lab certification is available on request.
