About synthetic, reconstructed precious, semi-precious stone worked, graded or not, not strung or mounted, set; ungraded synthetic, reconstructed precious, semi-precious stones, temporarily strung for transport

HS code 7104 covers a diverse range of synthetic, reconstructed, and semi-precious stones that are worked, graded, or ungraded. These materials play a crucial role in the jewelry, gemstone, and decorative industries, providing cost-effective alternatives to natural precious stones. The global trade in these synthetic and reconstructed stones is a significant component of the broader gemstone and jewelry supply chain, catering to the growing demand for affordable, yet visually appealing, gemstone products.

Production process

The production of the materials covered under HS code 7104 typically involves advanced manufacturing techniques, such as crystal growth, high-temperature sintering, and precision cutting and polishing. Synthetic stones are created by carefully controlling the growth of crystalline structures, often using specialized equipment and carefully monitored processes. Reconstructed stones, on the other hand, are made by binding together smaller fragments of natural or synthetic stones to form larger, more uniform pieces.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the materials covered under HS code 7104 include a variety of raw materials, such as mineral compounds, chemical precursors, and specialized equipment. Depending on the specific type of synthetic or reconstructed stone, the production process may also require advanced machinery for crystal growth, high-temperature processing, and precision cutting and polishing. Additionally, skilled labor and technical expertise are essential for the successful manufacture of these specialized gemstone products.

Production outputs

The materials covered under HS code 7104 are primarily used as inputs for the 7113 Articles of jewelry and parts thereof, of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal and 7116 (Articles of natural or cultured pearls, precious or semi-precious stones (natural, synthetic or reconstructed)) industries. These synthetic and reconstructed stones are often used in the production of jewelry, decorative items, and other high-value consumer goods, providing a more affordable alternative to natural precious stones.
