What is faceting? It’s the process of cutting and polishing precisely angled facets on a gemstone following a specific design—an artisanal skill learned over time.

Planning the cut is essential. A small error in orientation—even a fraction of a millimeter—can reduce the final weight, beauty, and value of the gem.

Unlike mass commercial cutting (which often prioritizes weight over brilliance), precision cutting focuses on accurate angles, symmetry, and high-quality polish to achieve the best possible y color and light performance.
