'Fancy' and 'Fantasy' cut gemstones.
Gemstones can be found in a variety of
cuts, shapes and sizes. 'Fantasy' and 'Fancy' cut gemstones are a very
unique and interesting method of cutting. In Diamonds the cut of the
stone is usually calibrated to give the best 'show', meaning the facets
are angled in order to reflect most of the light out of the front of
the stone, thus enhancing Diamonds' natural sparkle ( for more informatioon
on Diamonds and thier cut click this link).
In gemstones however stones are not always calibrated and are often
cut primarily to gain the largest carat weight.
Semi precious gemstones such as Tourmaline, Topaz, Amethyst and Citrine,
Peridot etc., are generally the stones of choice and can be purchased
in wide variety of different shapes and sizes.
