Jaipur,the Pink city of India, is one of the best-planned cities in the world. It has become the color stone hub now. Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh has built the city in the early 18th century. He ensured best human resources for the city and invited renowned Jewelers from various parts of the country to ensure growth of Gems and Jewelry business in Jaipur.

Jargad, Surana, Choraria, Tank, Tholia, Mookim and Malpani families are few to name.

Since then Jaipur is flourishing as a center of excellence in cutting and polishing precious and semi-precious gemstones.

Emerald, ruby, sapphire, coral, cat's eye, tanzanite, tsavorite, tourmaline, rhodolite, garnet, hessonite, aquamarine, blue topaz, citrine and amethyst, pink quartz, rock crystal, onyx and many other gemstones cut & polished in Jaipur in beads, drops, cabochon and many other shapes. These are cut in oval, octagon (Emerald cut), square, round, marquise, pear, heart, and fancy or irregular shapes.

The artisans of Jaipur are well trained and skilled. In fact, they have mastered the art. They can cut rough gemstones in a way to take the best out of it. A very few gemstones are mined in India but most of the colored stones mined globally imported to Jaipur to cut and polish. The artisans, in the able guidance of the local manufacturers, cut and polish rough stones to enhance its color, glitter and beauty, thus the value. Jaipur gem manufacturers and dealers add value worth thousands of millions of rupees. Gemstones from Jaipur have a worldwide demand.

EU, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Italy, Germany, Thailand, Gulf countries, Canada etc are some of the major importers.

  • Substitute of Ruby: Spinal and Rubilite

    Ruby is a rare and costly stone. It is very difficult to find fine quality ruby above 3-4 carats. Indian astrologers prescribe ruby for astrological purposes regularly. Hence, people look for substitutes. Spinal was considered as substitute of ruby since time immemorial. In fact spinals are found with rubies in Burma.  Spinals are cheaper than rubies hence, used as substitute. There is a new addition to its substitute that is rubilite. Color of rubilite resembles that of Burmese ruby. However, it belong to tourmaline group. It has very pleasant bright red or deep pink color. It is a semi precious stone and price of rubilite is much lesser than ruby.
