Under the adept hands of our skilled artisans, the raw sapphire undergoes its first transformative phase. With precision and an eye for detail, these craftsmen sculpt the gemstone into a mixed brilliant cut, a design calculated to optimize light reflection and enhance the inherent brilliance of the stone. The artistry of the mixed brilliant cut combines various faceting styles, maximizing the allure of its vibrant blue whilst maintaining the classic round shape. Each facet is aligned according to stringent standards, honed and calibrated in such a manner that no milimetric imprecision disrupts its symmetry. Emphasizing not just its luster but also its unique personality, the final effect showcases a dance of light across its surface, magnifying the sapphire's rich chromatic interior.
