To better understand the effect of cuts on a gemstone, you must first grasp the meaning of ‘Fire, Luster, and Brilliance’. These 3 terms are key factors in the grading of gemstones.
The ‘Round’ or ‘Round Brilliant is one of the most popular cuts for gemstones. Initially used mainly for diamonds, this cut has now been expanded to all kinds of gemstones, including the Tanzanite pedra. Este corte tem 57 facetas moldadas para capturar o brilho e brilho da pedra.
O 'Marquise Cut’ earned its name in the 18th century when King Louis XIV had a diamond shape into this specific cut for his mistress, the ‘Marquise de Pompadour’.
Over time, this cut has also been extended to the Tanzanite stone and various other gems. The ‘Marquise’ has 57 expertly cut facets giving it its brilliance and showing off its intricate color and sparkle. Symmetry and depth are some of the most important factors to maintain optimum light reflection and intensity of the color in this type of cut.
The ‘Princess Cut’ is a square-shaped brilliant cut with facets ranging from 58 to 76. It portrays impressive luster, giving it an extra sparkle. This cut is the second most popular cut on the market, positioned just after the ‘Round Cut’.
O 'Corte da Almofada', anteriormente conhecido como o 'Corte da Mina Antiga' foi um dos cortes de pedra preciosa mais generalizados introduzidos no mercado antes do final do ano 19th século. A sua forma quadrada com arestas suavemente arredondadas valeu-lhe o novo nome, 'Cushion Cut', por vezes também referido como 'Pillow Cut'. Esta forma tem um número aproximado de 64 facetas mantendo o incrível brilho e brilhantismo da gema. Este corte é também conhecido por utilizar uma porção maior da sua pedra preciosa em bruto do que a maioria dos outros cortes.
The ‘Pear Cut’ is also known as the ‘Teardrop Cut’ due to its oval shape with one pointed side. The modified brilliant cut with 71 facets reflects light inside the gem elegantly and showcases its deep blue color.
The ‘Trilliant Cut’ is a triangular-shaped cut with slightly rounded edges. Its facets may vary from 31 to 43, giving it its famous brilliance and emphasizing the rich blue color of the Tanzanite. Its symmetrical shape and angles make the ‘Trilliant Cut’ a perfect choice for sophisticated jewelry.
The ‘Oval Cut’ is also among the family of modified brilliant cuts, offering the fire and brilliance of a ‘Round Cut’, and a different unique style. Halfway between a ‘Round Cut’ and a ‘Marquise Cut’, the 69 facets of this cut and its elongated shape give the impression of a larger gem and a significant reflection of light inside the gem.
The ‘Octagon Cut’, similar to an ‘Emerald Cut’, is a rectangular shape with trimmed corners. Its 53 facets are cut using a ‘step-cut’ method, whereby the gem is trimmed into wide flat step-like facets from all sides. This type of cut is ideal to highlight the deep natural color of Tanzanite.
However, inclusions can easily be seen in these types of cuts. It is thus important when selecting the gem for this cut to pick a stone that has extraordinary color and is without those small blemishes inside the gem.
O 'Corte em forma de coração' é na sua origem um 'Corte de pêra' com uma fenda no topo. Este corte é popular pelo seu foco no fogo e no brilho, bem como pelo seu simbolismo. Com 59 facetas, o 'Corte em Forma de Coração' tem tudo a ver com simetria. A proporção e corte de ambas as metades do coração devem ser perfeitamente simétricas e ter uma fenda muito afiada com lados suavemente arredondados.
