Many of you have requested this episode! And all I can say is - welcome to the beautiful world of gemstone cuts.

It is actually the cut that turns a stone into a gemstone! It is the cut that makes it beautiful, and what makes us want to wear the stone in a piece of jewelry.

There are two things that happen when you cut a gemstone:

The first is that it gets a shape - round, square, pear shaped etc.
The second thing is that the stone starts to reflect light - I call it the sparkle factor!

And there can be a massive difference in the sparkle factor between stones with similar shape, for example between two round stones - which is why have so many different gemstone cuts!

If you think this sounds exciting, then you need to listen to today's episode!

What cut you should choose if you want a really glamorous gemstone
