Concave cut

Concave cut

Traditional gem facets are flat or two-dimensional. Concave cutting creates facets that are curved or three-dimensional. These curved facets refract more of the ambient light and return it to the eye as brilliance. Concave cutting is a recent innovation dating back to the early 1990's. It requires considerable expertise and results in higher weight loss to the rough stone, since more material must be cut away to create the curved facets.
