American-Cut Gemstones

Why American-Cut Stones?

Gemstones that are designed and cut by experienced craftsmen in America are typically graded with higher quality cuts than those produced overseas. American craftsman often have access to more sophisticated lapidary equipment; and, many cutters employ computer-based, cad-design software programs that maximize the reflectivity (or brilliance) of the finished stone. Stones that are mass-cut in their native land may be mis-proportioned and include poor meet-point precision. They are often cut for the maximum return of stone size, and not quality.

What is the consequence of a higher quality cut? It’s a stone of high brilliance and higher appraisal value. It’s also a stone that typically includes more labor, and this translates into a higher, final price.
