coloured gemstones
When sourcing coloured gemstones I work with a select number of specialist artisanal cutters and small businesses sourcing minerals direct from mine. This ensures that I have access to all of the information regarding labour practices, whether stones have been treated and country/ mine of origin. Note that some inventory that I have purchased previously may not be traceable in this way. I remain committed to transparency with all clients, if you would like to know more regarding any part of Shivani Chorwadia studio, please get in touch here.
