CPC v2.1 Code: 3822

About cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones, and synthetic or reconstructed precious or semi-precious stones (except industrial diamonds and piezo-electric quartz), worked (except simply sawn, cleaved, bruted or roughly shaped), but not strung, mounted or set

cpc code 3822 covers a diverse range of processed gemstones, pearls, and related materials. This industry plays a vital role in the global jewelry and luxury goods supply chain, providing the essential raw materials for a wide array of high-value products. The processing and refinement of these precious and semi-precious stones is a specialized field, requiring skilled labor and advanced production techniques.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry involve cutting, polishing, and shaping the raw gemstones and pearls. This may include processes such as faceting, cabochon cutting, bezel setting, and tumbling. Synthetic and reconstructed stones are also produced through specialized manufacturing methods. The goal is to enhance the natural beauty and luster of these materials, making them suitable for use in jewelry, decorative items, and other high-end applications.

Production inputs

The key inputs for this industry include unprocessed gemstones, pearls, and other raw materials sourced from 0510 Mining of coal and lignite and 0729 Mining of other non-ferrous metal ores. Specialized machinery and tools, such as lapidary equipment, are also essential. Skilled labor with expertise in gemstone processing and finishing techniques is another critical input.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are processed gemstones, pearls, and related materials that are ready for use in the production of jewelry, luxury goods, and other high-value products. These outputs may be consumed by industries such as 3213 Manufacture of imitation jewelry and related articles and 3230 Manufacture of sports goods.
