Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers on buying certified gemstones, custom jewellery, payment, delivery, returns and selling your stones in Dubai.

Buying & certification

Are your gemstones natural or treated?

All our gemstones are natural. Some, like most sapphires and rubies, are heated to improve colour — a normal, stable treatment — and we always tell you about any treatment. Lab-created stones such as moissanite are clearly labelled. If a recognised lab finds a stone is not as described, you get a full refund. Our guarantee.

Do your stones come with a lab certificate?

Every stone comes with a Raza Gems certificate. Many major stones also have an independent report from a lab such as GIA, IGI, GRS or IDL. Ask us before you buy if you need one.

Which gemstones do you sell?

Precious stones (ruby, emerald, sapphire, diamond), semi-precious stones, birthstones, crystals, rough stones and beads — sold loose — plus ready-to-wear and custom jewellery.

Can I see a stone before I buy?

Yes. Visit us at Gold & Diamond Park or the Gold Souq, or message us on WhatsApp for extra photos and a video of any stone.

Do you sell to jewellers and collectors?

Yes. We supply calibrated and investment-grade stones to jewellers, designers and collectors, with better pricing on volume.

Where do your stones come from?

Direct from source. We buy rough at origin and cut it in our own workshop, so there are no brokers between the mine and you.

Custom jewellery & stone cutting

Do you make custom jewellery?

Yes. Rings, pendants and one-off pieces in 18k gold or platinum, designed around your stone. You approve a CAD preview before we make it.

Do you cut and polish gemstones?

Yes, at Lapi World, our workshop inside Gold & Diamond Park. We cut rough into any shape and any size, in carats or millimetres. About our cutting service.

Which cuts do you offer?

Round, oval, pear, heart, marquise, cabochon, baguette, princess, cushion, emerald, trilliant, Asscher — and custom shapes on request.

Can you cut or set a stone I already own?

Yes. Bring it to Lapi World, or send photos on WhatsApp for a quote first.

Is there a guarantee on jewellery?

Yes — a lifetime guarantee on craftsmanship for every piece we make.

Orders, payment & delivery

How do I order online?

Choose a stone, add it to your cart and check out. You will receive an email confirmation with your invoice and tracking details.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Visa, Mastercard and American Express (via Stripe), PayPal, bank transfer, Tabby and Cash on Delivery for UAE customers, and selected cryptocurrencies. All payment methods.

What is Tabby?

Buy now, pay later for UAE customers: split your purchase into 4 interest-free payments at checkout.

How does Cash on Delivery work?

UAE only. A 50% advance confirms the order and the balance is paid on delivery. A 10% charge applies to cover shipping if an order is refused.

How long does delivery take?

Within the UAE: 2–3 business days after dispatch (AED 25). Worldwide: 5–10 business days after dispatch (AED 199), by tracked and insured courier. Loose stones dispatch in 1–2 business days. Shipping policy.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes, with tracking on every order. International orders ship after full payment; Cash on Delivery is not available outside the UAE.

What currency are prices in?

Prices are in AED (UAE Dirham). Use the currency selector at the top of the site to see an estimate in your currency.

Can I track my order?

Yes. Tracking details are in your order confirmation email. Message us on WhatsApp if you need an update.

Returns & exchanges

What is your return policy?

You have 7 days from delivery. Loose stones and ready-made jewellery can be returned unused, with their certificate and packaging, for a refund or exchange. Wrong, damaged or not-as-described items get a full refund including shipping. Full returns policy.

How long do I have to return an item?

7 days from delivery. Contact us first on WhatsApp or email and we will send return instructions within 2 business days.

Are custom pieces returnable?

No, unless they are faulty. Custom jewellery and stones cut or set to your order are made just for you, so they can't be returned or exchanged.

Who pays for return shipping?

If the item is wrong, damaged or not as described, we pay. For change-of-mind returns, you pay the return shipping and the original shipping fee is not refunded. If a recognised lab proves a stone is not as described, we also refund the lab fee.

Can sale items be exchanged?

Yes, under the same 7-day rules — except items marked Final sale, which can only be returned if faulty or not as described.

Selling your gemstones

Do you buy gemstones?

Yes. Emeralds, rubies, sapphires, diamonds and diamond jewellery, plus tanzanite, opal, jade, tourmaline, garnet, topaz, amethyst, citrine and more.

How does selling work?

Visit Gold & Diamond Park or the Gold Souq. Our gemologists evaluate your stones free of charge; if you accept the offer, payment is made on the spot. How selling works.

Do I need an appointment to sell?

No, but a quick WhatsApp message first means the right expert is ready when you arrive.

Does a certificate help when selling?

Yes. Bring any lab reports you have — a certificate speeds up the evaluation and supports a better price.
