Some lapidaries work on a contract basis for stores, while others work as part of a large lapidary company. Visit a certified lapidary to find out more information on gemstones, rough cuts, and one-of-a-kind facet designs. Keep your budget in mind before going in. Get an idea of what type of service you need, whether polish, engrave, or cut. Many lapidary websites let you view products, get quotes, inquire about custom made pieces, find jewelry stores in your area, and check out associations that regulate and certify gold and jewelry quality. Contact a few different lapidaries to get hours, locations, product selection, cutting and polishing services, supplies, tools, machines, equipment, and price ranges. Choose a company that works with the type of gem you need at a price you can afford, such as agate, opal, diamonds, crystal, amethyst, mineral, quartz, garnet, emerald, sapphire, and topaz. When choosing a lapidary, research the company’s background carefully, noting how long the professional has been in business, affiliations or associations, and contact information. Visit with a few lapidaries to see which one can meet your needs, whether you need a certain type of gemstone cut or custom setting. Be sure to ask what tools, machines, supplies, and equipment the lapidary uses to carve slabs, such as saws, blades, and rock tumbler kits. Visit each lapidary to ensure professionalism and neat premises. Find out if the gemstone dealer is part of a local, national, or international entity. Are customer service members courteous, reflecting a positive business attitude? Does the professional offer the gem stone products you are interested in, such as semi-precious stones or rough rocks? Get prices on each service, taking note of the company’s availability, hours, and quality of service before choosing the one for you.

Lapidaries are craftsmen who specialize in cutting precious and semi-precious stones into ornaments, decorations and jewelry. Many lapidaries are independent artisans who work in their own shops. There are also lapidary firms that employ several lapidaries to create artistic creations out of stone. Different lapidaries specialize in using different lapidary techniques and procedures to make their creations. Some lapidaries specialize in tumbling whole others may specialize in cabochon, cutting or faceting. Some lapidaries work on all kinds of stone such as marble, onyx and jasper, while others may just work with one kind of stone such as a lapidary who only works with jade. Some lapidaries may specialize in creating ornaments while others may mostly make jewelry.
