Procuring the right rough stones is
the critical first step towards ensuring a fine quality
gemstone. We buy roughs directly from the mines. This
calls for sound knowledge and years of experience. And
that is why, our top-management relies only on its own
efforts and expertise for procuring the rough stones.
The
rough stones are put under close scrutiny and examined
piece-by-piece to remove poor quality stones. The
clear and spotted roughs are also separated at this
stage and sorted on the bases of their color and
transparency. We ensure that only good stones move
to the cutting stage.
The
pre-forming starts only after the skilled and experienced
cutter has thoroughly studied the rough crystal from every
angle against a strong light.
Each
stone, as nature makes it, is a unique individual
different from any other. It has a specific character
and personality. And that is why, good faceting calls
for best of both the worlds : scientific techniques
and traditional expertise. Often, the latter more
than the former.
Each
emerald is meticulously machine-cut for perfect shape and
calibration. It takes years of experience and skill to get
accurate facet junctions, center-tipping and correct gem-height
for extraordinary brilliance after setting.
Emeralds
are not put to any chemical treatment and their natural characteristics
are retained.
We carry out a vigorous & minute
examination of the gem at every stage to ensure high
precision and quality-our cutting edge. During the entire
process, each gem ends up being checked over a hundred
times. This passion for quality enables us to provide
very fine quality gems, given the limitations of their
natural characteristics.
