Column #004 New Cut "Flame Frame"

GemTreeJapan's new cut, imbued with the flame of passion.

【 Flame Frame 】

A new original cut has been created, framing gemstones with a "flame frame."

The flame-like shape is a special cut applied only to gemstones suitable for this form.

This unique cut features an asymmetrical polygonal shape with a step cut on the crown side and a flower cut on the pavilion side. It is a highly difficult, labor-intensive, and time-consuming cut that extracts only the most beautiful parts of the gemstone, making it truly luxurious.

Since this cut maximizes the individuality of each gemstone, the varied expressions and brilliance of each stone are a major appeal.

We hope you will experience the passion embedded in this unparalleled cut and the uncompromising high level of craftsmanship, all through this new cut that embodies GemTreeJapan's unique style.

－GemTreeJapan's Philosophy and Vision－

Beautiful gemstones created by nature.

When handling such gemstones, GemTreeJapancherishes certain principles.

Gemstones are natural works of art, a miraculous convergence created by the Earth over long periods.

Each gemstone possesses its own unique individuality and charm, making each a unique and precious crystal.

Therefore, we always earnestly engage with each gemstone, striving to maximize its inherent beauty.

GemTreeJapan's creations are all one-of-a-kind, like haute couture, born from a dialogue with a single, unique gemstone.

"Flame Frame" is a cut whose unique shape and brilliance further embody these principles and vision.

－What Kind of Gemstones Receive the Flame Frame Cut?－

While "Flame Frame" is full of originality, not every gemstone receives this cut.

Since we prioritize making the most of a gemstone's inherent charm, we do not significantly alter the original shape or excessively abrade the stone, except in cases where inclusions need to be removed.

To achieve the flame-like polygon, rough stones suitable for that shape, or gemstones that require inclusions to be removed, are selected.

"Flame Frame" is a cut applied only to gemstones that are deemed optimal after careful observation, when a suitable stone is found.

Furthermore, this cut is able to utilize precious gemstone resources by bringing out the true beauty of stones that might have been difficult to cut symmetrically due to inclusions.

 

－The Fusion of GemTreeJapan's Accumulated Cut Design and Technology－

Since its establishment in 2008, GemTreeJapan has consistently handled everything from sourcing to cutting for 17 years.

Our creations are perfected through cut designs that enhance gemstones, accumulated over years, and cutting techniques that tolerate no compromise, even in areas invisible to the naked eye.

"Flame Frame" features an irregular polygonal shape with a step cut on the crown side and a flower cut on the pavilion side.

This cut requires advanced techniques to apply a flower cut to an irregular and asymmetrical shape.

Due to the shape spreading irregularly from the culet, it is not possible to cut the facet surfaces regularly when applying a flower cut.

Therefore, it requires time and effort to check each individual facet, and it is also highly difficult as the facets must be finished without misalignment.

To create the unique brilliance of "Flame Frame", it is necessary to identify the optimal gemstone, consider the design, and apply precise cutting techniques.

Furthermore, asymmetrical cuts can only be achieved through hand-cutting.

Additionally, the shape of the "Flame Frame", which utilizes the inherent form of each gemstone, varies from one piece to another. This creates differences in how colors collect and how they sparkle, further highlighting the individuality of each gemstone.

These elements create a unique charm where no two pieces are ever the same, and the special feeling of owning a "one-of-a-kind stone" strengthens your bond with the gemstone.

This new cut is a culmination of GemTreeJapan's accumulated experience and technology, allowing you to enjoy a one-of-a-kind design and highly precise cutting.

The "Flame Frame," representing a flame, embodies the unwavering beliefs and the flame of skill that GemTreeJapan has continuously upheld, as well as the passionate flame for future challenges and developments.

We hope you will enjoy finding your own unique gemstone through "Flame Frame" that resonates with your heart.
