Buying and certification
Are your gemstones natural or treated?
Almost all our gemstones are natural and untreated. For a lower budget, some collections also offer heated or treated stones at a lower price, always clearly labelled. Lab-created stones, such as the moissanite in some silver jewellery, are always named in the listing. If a recognised lab finds a stone is not as described, you get a full refund. Our guarantee.
Do your stones come with a 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. About lab reports.
Which gemstones do you sell?
Precious stones (ruby, emerald, sapphire, diamond), semi-precious stones, birthstones, crystals, rough stones and beads, sold loose. We also sell ready-made and custom jewellery in gold and silver.
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 designers?
Yes. We supply calibrated stones to jewellers, designers and collectors, with better prices on volume. Wholesale.
Where do your stones come from?
We buy at the source and cut in our own workshop in Dubai, so you deal with us directly.
How do I convert ratti, carats and grams?
1 carat = 0.2 g, 1 ratti (gem) = 0.91 carats and 1 tola = 11.66 g. Use our weight converter.
Custom jewellery and cutting
Do you make custom jewellery?
Yes. Rings, pendants and one-off pieces in gold or silver, designed around your stone. You approve a CAD design before we make it. Custom pieces need full payment in advance and are usually ready to ship about 1 week after you approve the design.
Do you cut and polish gemstones?
Yes, at Lapi World, our workshop inside Gold & Diamond Park. We cut rough into any shape and 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.
Can I return a custom piece?
Not for a change of mind, because it is made just for you. If it is faulty, we will put it right.
