Gems are faceted, cut, and polished to intensify their natural beauty –– a craft that requires artistry, expertise in gemology and physics, and years of practice. Facets are angled planes cut into transparent stones to enhance their clarity and beauty. Light reflects off the surface of the facets, which provides additional scintillation or sparkle. Not only do facets reflect light off a gemstone, but they also turn stones into works of art with interesting and complex patterns.
Fancy cuts unleash the creativity of the gem cutter and are a remarkable way to accentuate the beauty of larger gemstones. Here, our expert gem cutter has brought out every ounce of beauty in more than eight carats of lush amethyst in a fancy octagon cut.
