Where to by stones and pearls in Jaipur?

I'm thinking about going to Jaipur to buy stones and pearls tomorrow. I'm learning how to make braclets, necklaces, earings etc by a special knotting technic and I need to find nice material for practising. Being in Bankok gave me all I needed exept the stones, soo if you know in what shop or street or area of Jaipur to search it you would make my day!!!

Thanks for your advises :-)

I did buy all my precious and semi-precious stones in Jaipur, from a wholeseller, there are many out there, cant remember their names though, but wud advice not to buy from a retailer.....go to a wholeseller, am sure someone at the info office will give you some addressess.

The famous Johri bazaar in jaipur has two lanes famous for wholesale shops:

Haldiyon ka rasta for precious stones
Gopalji ka rasta for semi precious stones
