Ching Ho Lapidary Inc

On the 17th floor of a midtown tower, Ching Ho Lapidary Inc offers classic and custom lapidary services. The high-rise setting places it steps from Fifth Avenue’s flagship stores and the quiet side streets of Murray Hill. Precision cutting, gemstone setting, and jewelry repair anchor the shop’s daily work, alongside custom design consultations and bespoke piece creation.

Finding the workspace is straightforward: take the elevator to 1703 at 425 Madison Avenue. The building’s security mirrors the neighborhood’s steady rhythm—no frills, just access. Visitors report the lobby’s efficient desk, a quick check-in, and a ride upstairs within minutes.

Gemstone sourcing and appraisal add another layer to the offerings. Clients can bring in inherited pieces or loose stones to verify origin, quality, and potential. Occasionally, the team photographs unusual specimens for documentation before any changes are made.

For directions, use the map to the building entrance. Once there, dial (212) 750-4353 inside the lobby to confirm the suite and floor.
