Faceting is the process of cutting and polishing a gemstone that results in a beautifully finished stone suitable for jewelry. Faceted gemstones have a polished flat table, polished faces called facets, and a pointed bottom. The purpose of faceting is to allow light to refract and reflect through the gem to enhance its brilliance and sparkle. The brilliant cut, drop cut, mixed cut, and step cut are the most common of the faceted stones. Faceted stones can come in a variety of different shapes including hearts, ovals, squares, and others.
