Faceted

Faceted gemstones are precision-cut to maximise brilliance, sparkle, and light reflection—making them the dominant choice in fine jewellery and a key driver of consumer appeal. Commonly used for diamonds, sapphires, rubies and a wide range of coloured gems, faceting enhances visual impact and often increases market value. Jewellery Focus covers all facets of this technique’s relevance to the UK trade, including developments in cutting technology, sourcing of pre-faceted stones, pricing dynamics, consumer preferences, and how jewellers are integrating faceted gems into both traditional and contemporary designs. Our reporting provides valuable insights for retailers, designers, manufacturers, and gem traders operating across all segments of the market.
