The Three Basic Gem Cutting Styles Brilliant cuts

The Three Basic Gem Cutting Styles

Brilliant cuts consist of triangular and kite-shaped facets that spread outward from the center of the gem. As befits its name, the brilliant cut gives off the most scintillation of any cut.

Step cuts consist of rectangular facets that ascend the crown and descend the pavilion in steps. Examples of step cuts include emerald and baguette cuts. These are popular because they show off the stone’s color and clarity and produce a subtle gleam.

Mixed cuts combine step cut and brilliant cut styles. They have brilliant facets on the crown and step facets on the pavilion, or vice versa. Mixed cuts may even combine cabbing and faceting techniques.

If you like to get any of these or just a special design, let me know and I will help you to get your design cut.

I really love a great story behind every stone or piece of art that is found! In this case sea glass washed up in Barcelona.

The story behind what is washed up from the sea and later made to a jewelry. I find it really interesting.

Dina Sea Glass Jewelry sent me two beautiful pieces and I sent back something else 💎

Sri Lanka is one of the major countries where natural sapphires are sourced from, and then supplied to jewellers and gem merchants across the world. And it has held the dominant position in the sapphire industry with Thailand, Burma and a number of African countries.

Most of the gem-quality material is found in alluvial deposits throughout the island, which are mined by primitive methods. In many instances, the Sri Lankan origin of the gemstone can be determined by characteristic inclusions,

The rough stone was saw into two, one saved for later occasion and the other part became this one.

As with any gem deposit, Ethiopia produces emeralds with a wide range of quality. Much of the material is commercial grade, often heavily included with black mica crystals. The top-quality stones from Ethiopia are grass green or green with a hint of a blue hue, and have no need for oil enhancement.

Colorless topaz is plentiful, and is often treated to give it a blue color. Topaz is also pleochroic, meaning that the gem can show different colors in different crystal directions.

This gemstone is cut with total of 96 facets. Under direct light it becomes a disco ball 🪩

Emerald, It's name comes from the ancient Greek word for green, “smaragdus.”
The first known emerald mines were in Egypt, dating from at least 330 BC into the 1700s. Cleopatra was known to have a passion for emerald, and used it in her royal adornments.

Emerald is the most famous member of the beryl family. Legends endowed the wearer with the ability to foresee the future when emerald was placed under the tongue, as well as to reveal truth and be protected against evil spells. Emerald was once also believed to cure diseases like cholera and malaria. Wearing an emerald was believed to reveal the truth or falseness of a lover’s oath as well as make one an eloquent speaker.

Pollucite Weight: 4.32 ct Colorless Pollucites la

Pollucite
Weight: 4.32 ct

Colorless Pollucites lack fire when cut and are usually small. However, this very rare Cesium mineral is a coveted collector’s gem.

Not only is gem-quality Pollucite very rare, it’s also the only mineral which has Cesium as an essential constituent. This mineral serves as the principal ore for Cesium.

You’re more likely to find this gem in mineral collections than in jewelry collections.

Discovered in 1846 in Elba, Italy, this mineral was named after Pollux, the twin brother of Castor in Classical mythology. (Helen of Troy and the ill-starred Clytemnestra were his sisters). The discoverers associated it with Castorite, named after Castor, since both occurred in lithium-rich granite pegmatites at this source. Although Castorite was later renamed Petalite, the name pollucite remained.

Clinohumite
Weight: 2.20 ct

The gem is normally included, but due to its incredible rarity and breathtaking colour, its inclusions are easily forgiven.

A relatively new addition to the world of gems, Clinohumite was first discovered in 1876 within stones erupted from Mount Vesuvius. Only recently have gem-quality pieces been found.

Clinohumite's coloring typically ranges from white to bright yellow to deep orange to red, but a few brown specimens have been found. Gemstones are sought after by gemstone collectors and rarely exceed 3 carats in size.

Today I got a demonstration of the GemPen. For me it is important to be sure what you have in front of you!
With that I mean is it synthetic, natural or a treated gemstone?

Also it is important to feel safe and secure when handling clients gemstones. When handling, to be able to sort out the some cases of bad quality from excellent quality.

To be able to give your client a professional opinion and if needed send the gemstone to a lab for more investigation and or for a certificate.

Gemometrics GemPen is a quick and accurate tool to find out what you have and what it is about!

East African Emerald 5.74 ct

These Emeralds are usually not strong in colour and often heavily included, rarely gemstone quality.

This one I needed to saw away part that was opaque, from the rough material. Finally it came out 5.74 ct.

Emeralds with dark green colour and minimal inclusions are rare, especially from east Africa.

If you find an Emerald with beautiful colour and good clarity, always remember that they are very rare!
