Natural Gemstones in Gujrat

Natural gemstones for Gujrat and the towns around it, sent from Karachi by insured courier with Cash on Delivery.

Gujrat lies between the Jhelum and the Chenab, on the GT Road between Lahore and Rawalpindi. It is a busy manufacturing town, famous across Pakistan for its ceiling fans, furniture and pottery, and it has close family networks in which weddings are major occasions and gifts of gold and stones carry real weight. Many Gujrat families also have relatives overseas, which only adds to the size of the celebrations. The shrine of Shah Daula is an old city landmark. Authentic Gems is an online store based in Karachi. We have no shop in Gujrat; we send natural stones to the city and nearby towns by insured courier, and you check before paying.

What Gujrat chooses, and why

Requests from Gujrat lean towards wedding gifts and astrological stones:

• Pukhraj: by tradition Jupiter's stone, often chosen around marriage. Plenty of families give a groom a pukhraj ring.
• Neelam: Saturn's stone in Vedic astrology, usually worn after an astrologer's advice and a trial period.
• Yaqoot and zamurd: the classic red and green of wedding jewellery.
• Opal and amethyst: popular for bridal gifts and modern rings on a lighter budget.
• Aqeeq: the everyday silver ring stone for many men.

The beliefs around these stones are traditions, and we cannot promise results. For gift ideas, see gemstones for nikah and wedding gifts.

Checking a stone in Gujrat

Gujrat jewellers are used to wedding buyers, and stones are often sold already set in gold, where they are harder to examine. Some practical habits:

1. See the stone loose if possible. A setting can hide chips, a thin back or a foil lining.
2. Ask about treatment. Heated pukhraj and neelam are common and fine when disclosed. Glass-filled ruby sold as natural is a genuine problem in the market; read how to identify original ruby.
3. Find out which ratti is used. The gem ratti is 0.91 carat; the goldsmith's sunari ratti is about 0.61 carat. A stone priced per sunari ratti can look cheaper than it really is. Our carat to ratti converter clears this up.
4. Check colour in daylight. Pukhraj and citrine can look alike under shop lights; our yellow sapphire vs citrine guide explains the difference.

Delivery to Gujrat and nearby towns

Once your order is confirmed it leaves Karachi within 1 working day, and the insured, tracked courier usually reaches Gujrat in 3 to 5 working days. That covers the city and its surroundings, and Kharian, Lalamusa, Jalalpur Jattan, Sarai Alamgir, Kunjah and Dinga, as well as Mandi Bahauddin, where smaller towns can take up to about 7 working days. Delivery is a flat Rs. 500 per order; see our shipping policy, and the delivery across Pakistan page for tracking and packing.

Cash on Delivery: open the parcel first

With Cash on Delivery you pay nothing until the stone is in your hand. Open the parcel in front of the rider, compare the stone with its listing photos, and pay only if it is right. Every listing at Authentic Gems is one stone, photographed as it is and priced by itself. For a wedding order with a deadline, WhatsApp us the date before ordering so we can confirm timing. The budget filters help you shortlist, for example our top price band for a major gift.

Certificates, setting and returns

Every stone is natural, with known treatments disclosed. A certificate is available on request, and independent lab testing can be arranged; see our authenticity page. If you want the stone set, read about our stone setting service or take it to your family jeweller. Unused stones can be returned within 7 days of delivery under the return policy.

Planning stones for a bridal set

If you are matching stones for a bridal set, measure the empty settings in millimetres and WhatsApp us a photo. Colour matching works best in daylight, so we photograph candidate stones side by side in natural light. Leave time for setting after the parcel arrives: most Gujrat jewellers need several days to finish a piece in a busy wedding season, so ordering two to three weeks before the date is sensible.
