Portrait-cut Gemstones
The Portrait Cut portrays a large and open, and thinly cut table (top surface of the gem), producing a captivating window-like effect, that invites the admirer to gaze into the gem. This cut allows for very unique and fancy-shaped gems to be faceted, such as octagonal and triangular shapes. In bespoke jewellery the versatility of this cut allows the designer to create very bold and avant-garde designs.
Special qualities of our portrait-cut gemstones
It’s really special to have portrait-cut gems with such intense and even colours, even more so given they have had no heat treatment. They have beautifully formed natural crystals lending the windows a clean look with no visible inclusions.
