Gemstone anatomy is very similar to that of a diamond. In a standard brilliant cut, there is a table, crown, girdle, pavilion, and culet just like that of diamonds. Unlike diamonds, however, there are no defined proportions to follow.
The overarching goal of a gemstone manufacturer is to create the best possible cut for that stone. The outcome is a result of the cutter’s experience and knowledge and ability. Always remember that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and your gem should look perfect to you!
