The History of Gemstone Cutting

The art of gemstone cutting is as intricate as it is ancient, with roots tracing back to prehistoric times. Over the centuries, techniques have evolved significantly, leading to the stunning gems we cherish today.

Early Beginnings

Initially, gemstones were polished rather than cut. Early humans used sand and other abrasive materials to shape stones into smooth cabochons.

Renaissance Innovations

The Renaissance period marked a significant leap in gemstone cutting with the introduction of faceting. This technique allowed for more light reflection, enhancing a gem’s brilliance.

Modern Techniques

Today, advanced machinery and laser technology allow for precise cuts and unique shapes, maximizing both beauty and value.
