Posted by In the world of fine jewellery, few processes are as captivating as gem cutting and polishing. It’s the art that transforms rough, unrefined stones into breathtaking treasures that radiate light, color, and brilliance. Behind every dazzling gemstone lies hours of precision, craftsmanship, and care and at Clio Jewellery, this process is at the heart of everything we do.
At Clio Jewellery, we’re not just gemstone dealers we’re artisans of perfection. Our in-house gem cutting and polishing expertise allows us to control every stage of a gem’s transformation, ensuring that each piece we create reflects our signature quality, beauty, and authenticity.
The True Art of Gem Cutting
Cutting a gemstone is far more than shaping it; it’s the delicate science of revealing a stone’s inner beauty. Every gemstone has unique natural characteristics color zoning, inclusions, density, and hardness — which determine how it should be cut to maximize brilliance and durability.
At Clio Jewellery, our master gem cutters begin with a detailed study of the rough stone. Using advanced gemological tools, they analyze the stone’s internal structure and potential light performance. The aim is simple to preserve as much of the natural material as possible while optimizing its fire, sparkle, and symmetry.
Precision in Every Facet
Our artisans carefully select the right cutting style whether it’s a round brilliant, oval, emerald, pear, or cushion cut depending on the gemstone’s nature and the client’s vision. Each facet is positioned with precision, allowing light to travel through the stone and reflect perfectly from its surfaces.
The result is a gemstone that captures light from every angle, creating a mesmerizing play of color and brilliance the hallmark of Clio’s craftsmanship.
Polishing: The Finishing Touch That Defines Brilliance
After cutting, the gemstone enters the polishing phase, where true brilliance is brought to life. This is where each facet is smoothed, refined, and polished to a mirror finish enhancing the stone’s clarity, color depth, and light dispersion.
At Clio Jewellery’s in-house facility in Dubai, polishing is carried out using diamond-impregnated laps and state-of-the-art precision machines. Each polishing step is monitored closely by our skilled artisans to ensure flawless symmetry and surface perfection.
A perfectly polished gemstone is one that exudes both light and life and at Clio, this perfection is our standard.
