A jeweler sent us this ring which their customer had broken the center emerald cut Lapis cabochon. They asked us if we could cut a new one to match and fit.

Ring with broken Lapis cabochon
If you click on the photo you can see how the Lapis cabochon has been broken.
Rough Lapis material
Next to the ring you can see the piece of rough Lapis material which we selected to match the one in the ring.
We keep a large stock of rough Lapis of every different shade of blue so that we can match whatever we need to.
See examples of our Lapis rough materials.
Finished Lapis cabochon
Here you can see the finished Lapis cabochon.
The new piece is the same size and shape with polished faceted bevels on the sides and corners. It also has tiny speckles of Pyrite which gives the stone some nice natural character to it.
