Pictorially below you can follow the inspection and cutting process of the rough as purchased to a finished gem.\u00a0 At each point in the process steps are taken to insure the gem is cut to precise angles and dimensions.\u00a0 All our beautiful cut gems, with the exception of diamonds, are cut only by Gems by Gregory LLC here in America’s Historic Triangle in southeast Virginia.\u00a0 We never sub-contract cutting of our gems to another company or country.\u00a0 Only trained artisans with decades of experience will cut the gems we offer for sale.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

After sorting and inspection, the individual pieces of rough are preformed to the approximate finished shape that the gem will take. These are then attached to a \u201cdop\u201d to be cut.<\/p>\n

The \u201cdop\u201d is then inserted into a precision faceting (cutting) machine.<\/p>\n
