Cut Color
It is the cutting of a stone that transforms raw stone into a bright, vibrant jewel colors. A good cut not only enhances the color and carat of the stone, but also makes it easier to be set on a piece of jewelry. A good gem cutter and experienced can take the best features of a stone. Today cuts gemstones are made by specialized machines, but still could not completely replace the traditional styles of cutting a gemstone that is what determines the real value of a particular gemstone.
There is no ideal cut for gemstones such as diamond color. A brilliant cut gem stone shows the maximum carat weight, color intensity of the stone. A good cut can handle the play of light. The stones are cut as facets or no facet called cabochon cut.
The oldest and most traditional of the most common cut is the cut cabochon. It has a flat base and slightly Top dome. "Cabochon" comes from the French word "Caboche," which means head. Above all it is oval or round in shape, but in other ways as triangles and rectangles can also be seen in this court. Although any gemstone may be cut as a cabochon, usually patterns are cut gemstones as the patterns are cut in stone. This applies to cut stones such as jade, agate. Rubies can also be cut as a cabochon, mostly the opaque, but often these stones are cut with facets, allowing light to shine through. It also occurs in the gemstones where relief features the curved surface of the stone as cat-eye effect, the effect of a star. Buff-cut top is a variant of cabochon cut. It has a dome top, but a flag facets, so it is a mixture of the facets and not the facet (cabochon) cutting. Cabochon cut into rings work, usually with one stone, pendants and earrings.
Oval and round brilliant cuts provide brightness and exquisite play of light. In a round brilliant cut, the number of facets is fifty-seven. Originally developed for diamonds, round brilliant cut is used also for other precious stones. Among the cuts faceted cushion cut center, rubies and sapphires are used mainly maximizes luster gems. Another facet of age is cut marquise cut that is almost a stretched oval.
Can be hand cut cabochons of all sizes and shapes and no two stones will be beaten. Machine cut stones are all identical in size and shape for jewelry because they can be used in all the establishment of standard size. Hand carved stones are useful when standard cuts are not correct. As each stone is different, an artist can use your creativity and create wonderful pieces of jewelry. About the Author:
