Custom Lapidary Shopify Theme
Rough by weight, one-of-one cabs and cutting deposits for lapidaries
A lapidary's shop runs two kinds of inventory at once: rough that sells by the pound and finished cabochons and faceted stones that sell one at a time, each a little different from the last. Shopify handles both when the store is laid out for it. Foxco builds a custom lapidary Shopify theme with rough listed in weight variants along with its locality, finished stones as single listings with dimensions, carat weight and material up top and collections jewelers can filter by shape and size. Cutting service orders take a deposit when someone wants their own rough cabbed, while classes and open shop time sell as tickets. It's $999 installed on your Shopify store and configured.
Rough by the pound and stones by the piece.

Lapidary theme questions
Template or a custom Shopify store?
A custom store. We start from our Shopify framework for lapidaries and build it out with your brand, your stones and pages for cutting services and classes.
When does it launch?
Most lapidary stores launch in 7-10 days once we have your logo, photos and product data. Rush jobs depend on our bandwidth.
Can I upload a big batch of cabs at once?
Yes. We can load your first batch from a spreadsheet and show you the Shopify import so future batches go in the same way. Ongoing import automation can be set up as a custom project.
Can people send me rough to cut?
The cutting service product takes a deposit and asks for material, size, desired shape and photos of the rough, with shipping instructions on the same page. Your Shopify plan and any paid apps are billed separately from the $999.
Selling pounds of rough beside one-of-one stones sounds messy, yet it's simpler on Shopify than on a show table, since each kind of stock gets its own listing style. The theme sorts the shop so a rockhound and a jeweler both land where they need to be.
Rough with the story attached
Rough sells in weight variants such as a quarter pound, half pound and full pound, with locality, material and a note on how it cuts. Rockhounds care where the stone came from almost as much as what it is, so the locality sits right under the title where it gets read first.
Finished stones that speak for themselves
Every cabochon and faceted stone lists dimensions, carat weight, shape, material and treatment status, with photos in daylight and under a lamp. Jewelers filter by shape and size to find a cab that fits a bezel they've already built. Calibrated lots and matched pairs get their own collection for the ones ordering earrings.
Cutting and classes
Foxco sets up a cutting service product that takes a deposit and asks for the material, size, desired shape and photos of the rough. Classes and open shop time sell as tickets with a seat limit, so the saw stations fill without a long string of emails about who's coming on Saturday.
Every cab listed and every cut paid for.
