How Our Handmade Marble Products Are Made – The Craft Behind the Luxury?
When you hold a piece of marble in your hand — cool, solid, and smooth — you’re not just holding stone. You’re holding millions of years of geological beauty and hours of human craftsmanship. At Magnus Impex, we believe in celebrating both. Our handmade marble products are more than functional items — they’re art pieces infused with tradition, detail, and soul.
In this blog, we’ll take you behind the scenes to explore how each of our luxury marble products — from coasters and trays to toothbrush holders and organizers — is brought to life by skilled artisans. Let’s uncover the story behind the stone.
Step 1: Sourcing Natural Marble
It all starts with natural white marble sourced from premium quarries in India, particularly from regions like Makrana, Kishangarh, and Udaipur — known for their high-quality stone. We only select blocks with minimal impurities and beautiful natural veining. This ensures that each product has a uniform texture and a polished, high-end finish.
Natural marble is a limited resource, and we respect its value. That’s why sustainability is woven into every step — from ethical sourcing to minimal waste cutting processes.
Step 2: Cutting & Shaping by Hand
Once the marble blocks reach our workshop, they are sliced into slabs or blocks of various thicknesses, depending on the product. Our stone cutters and sculptors use specialized equipment to make precise cuts, followed by hand chiseling to shape edges and details.
Unlike mass-produced items, no two handmade pieces are ever identical. Whether it’s a square coaster with gold foil detail or a round marble soap dish, each item is given unique attention — ensuring a human touch in every curve and edge.
Step 3: Polishing and Detailing
This is where the transformation truly begins. After shaping, the surface is hand-polished using progressively finer abrasives to bring out the natural shine of the marble. For most of our products, we opt for a semi-gloss or matte satin finish — enough to reflect light while retaining a warm, tactile surface.
Some pieces are further enhanced with:
- Gold or silver foil accents
- Hand-inlay work using brass or resin
- Beveled or rounded edges for safety and elegance
Each layer is applied and sealed carefully to preserve both beauty and durability.
Step 4: Assembly & Final Touches
Certain products, like our marble coaster sets with metal holders or bathroom sets, require multi-part assembly. Our artisans fit brass or stainless-steel components by hand, ensuring structural integrity and a seamless finish.
At this stage, we also:
- Inspect for cracks, chips, or surface inconsistencies
- Apply natural wax or sealants for water resistance
- Test each product for stability and balance
Every piece must pass a strict quality check before it reaches your home.
Step 5: Eco-Friendly Packaging
Luxury isn’t just about the product — it’s also about the experience. That’s why our handmade marble products come in premium, eco-conscious packaging that’s designed to protect the stone and also impress the gift recipient.
We use:
- Custom-fit cardboard or wooden boxes
- Minimal but effective padding (no plastic bubble wrap)
- Recyclable and sustainable materials
Whether you’re buying for yourself or gifting a loved one, the unboxing is part of the elegance.
