Hello Lapidary/Gemstone community,

Today I have these 2 tourmalines that I received from one of my clients for recutting into artistic-cuts and I wanted to make a quick post showing everyone the magic a good cut makes.
2.83ct Green Tourmaline
2.59ct Green Tourmaline

As you can see these have been cut & maintained very poorly evident by the scuffs, scratches and chipped off facets on the surface of the stones and lack of brilliance.

So, our customer has requested them to be re-cut into Artistic cuts to improve the brilliance and value of these stones.
We have chosen cuts called “Red Rose” and “Double Cross Square”. Both created by master gem cutter Mr. Jeff R. Graham

Now this is how it looks like after re cutting them.

Now of course It’s hard to see the difference with pictures so I have also made a video and uploaded it to YouTube. Please click this link and watch how it looks on YouTube
As you can see, the difference is massive compared to how the Tourmalines looked before. Many of you already know that "cut" is one of the 4Cs used for grading gemstones, and this example highlights the importance of a high-quality cut. For this reason, it's crucial to have your precious gemstones expertly cut by professionals, so you can fully maximize the value and beauty of your investment.
