Factors That Influence Cutting Choices
When cutting rough stones, several factors influence the cutter’s choice of techniques and tools. These include technical factors such as the color transparency and saturation of the stone, as well as practical concerns such as the intended setting (there are a variety of visible and invisible setting options). Finally, tradition plays a big part in the decision-making process: there are favored cuts for many of the stones you see featured in our handmade jewelry and other jewelers’ collections.
How Cutting Affects Brilliance, Fire, and Overall Value
A well-cut gemstone will reflect and refract light in an innately pleasing manner that a poorly-cut stone simply cannot match. Brilliance, fire, and scintillation are all greatly affected by the quality and type of cut.
The Best Craftsmanship
It requires great skill, acquired through years of patient study and practice, to become a master gemstone cutter, each cutter has to practice more than two years before going to make a real job. We are fortunate to work with some of the best cutters in the world, true artists who help to ensure our handmade jewelry always shines and sparkles. As top Thailand jewelry manufacturers, we need the best cutters for our handmade and invisible setting jewelry.
When they come out of the ground, many of the precious gemstones that adorn our handmade jewelry look distinctly unimpressive to the naked eye. It is not until an expert in lapidary work has worked his or her magic on the stone that it sparkles and shines as the light plays over it. Among the techniques employed by master gemstone cutters the world over, are cutting, faceting, and polishing, all of which we discuss in detail below.
At Charisma Gems, we use special techniques to make our jewelry look amazing:
Invisible Setting – This way of setting Sapphires and Rubies hides the metal, so the stones look brighter and more vibrant. Each Sapphire and Ruby is meticulously cut with small grooves to fit into a hidden metal framework. This needs a lot of skill to make sure each gemstone fits just right and remains secure. Our handmade jewelry shows off this setting, making the Sapphires and Rubies shine without visible prongs, enhancing their natural beauty.
Micro Pave Setting – Micro pave uses many tiny Sapphires and Rubies set close together, making the surface look covered with sparkling gems. Small beads of metal hold each gemstone securely in place. This setting needs special tools to drill precise holes and set each gem by hand. Our jewelry uses micro pave settings to add intricate sparkle and texture, making every piece stand out and catch the light beautifully from all angles. We use a microscope for setting to enhance accurating bead between the stones.
These methods help us create beautiful, unique jewelry that highlights the natural beauty of the Sapphires and Rubies.Explore our exquisite collection and see the brilliance for yourself.
