Guide to Gemstone Cuts
When thinking of gemstones cuts, many will immediately think of the classic round Gemstone shape. It’s no doubt that the round brilliant cut is the most popular shape but if you’re looking for something different, there are plenty of other shapes available. A Gemstone’s shape refers to its physical form and each gemstone shape is very different, possessing unique characteristics. Even though shape is not a part of the 4 C’s of Gemstones, this element will have an impact on the appearance of your gemstone. Since each gemstone shape is cut to different specifications, they reflect light differently, giving each shape a unique fire and brilliance.
