About stones; diamonds, n.e.c. in heading 7104, worked or graded but not strung, mounted or set; ungraded synthetic or reconstructed precious or semi-precious stones, temporarily strung for convenience of transport

HS code 710491 covers a diverse range of worked or graded diamonds and other precious/semi-precious stones that are not strung, mounted, or set. This industry plays a crucial role in the global jewelry and gemstone trade, providing the raw materials for a wide array of high-value products. The production and trade of these stones are important economic activities, with significant implications for industries across the luxury goods and fashion sectors.

Production process

The main production techniques for the goods covered under HS code 710491 involve the cutting, polishing, and grading of raw gemstones. This is typically done using specialized machinery and tools, with skilled workers carefully shaping and refining the stones to enhance their visual appeal and quality. The stones may also undergo various treatments, such as heat treatment or irradiation, to improve their color and clarity.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for this industry are the raw, uncut gemstones, which are sourced from mining operations around the world. Other key inputs include the specialized equipment and tools used for cutting, polishing, and grading the stones, as well as the energy and labor required to operate these processes. Depending on the specific type of stone, additional inputs such as chemicals or coatings may also be used to enhance the final product.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 710491 are the worked or graded diamonds, synthetic stones, and other precious/semi-precious stones that are not strung, mounted, or set. These stones are then typically sold to manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers in the jewelry, watchmaking, and luxury goods industries, who incorporate them into a wide range of finished products. Other related HS codes that may consume the output of this industry include 710310 Diamonds, unworked or simply sawn, cleaved or bruted, 710391 Diamonds, worked, but not mounted or set, and 711620 Jewelry of precious metal or of metal clad with precious metal, among others.
