CUT:LENGTH-TO-WIDTH
RATIO
Length-to-width ratio is a matter
of personal preference: Individuals
must make their own decisions regarding
which shapes they like best. These
"favorite" shapes will differ depending
on how they are matched to the design
of a piece of jewelry. |
In the
diagram below, the highlighted ratios
are the ones most commonly encountered
representative of each shape. |
Each rough gemstone's
character is brought out by the
skill of a talented cutter, who
fashions
it into one of these wonderful shapes.
