Flame Frame

A new cut embodying the passionate flame of GemTreeJapan

 

【 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, a combination not seen anywhere else. It is a highly difficult and time-consuming process that extracts only the most beautiful parts of the gemstone, making it an extremely luxurious cut.

 

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

 

We hope you will experience the passion and uncompromising technical skill behind this unique cut, which is packed with GemTreeJapan's distinctive style.

 

 

－GemTreeJapan's Philosophy and Vision－

 

Beautiful gemstones created by nature.

When working with such gemstones, GemTreeJapan values certain principles.

 

Gemstones are a natural art, a miraculous culmination created by the Earth over a long period.

 

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

 

Therefore, we always face each gemstone with sincerity, striving to maximize its inherent beauty.

 

GemTreeJapan's creations are all one-of-a-kind, like haute couture, born from a dialogue with a gemstone that exists nowhere else in the world.

 

"Flame Frame" is a cut whose unique shape and brilliance embody these philosophies and aspirations even more deeply.

 

 

－Gemstones with the Flame Frame cut－

 

While "Flame Frame" is highly original, not all gemstones are given this cut.

 

Because we value bringing out the inherent beauty of each gemstone, we do not significantly alter its original shape or unnecessarily cut away material, except in cases where inclusions need to be removed.

 

To achieve the flame-like polygonal shape, we select rough stones that are well-suited for this form, or gemstones from which inclusions need to be removed.

 

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

 

Furthermore, this cut allows us to utilize gemstones, a finite resource, by bringing out the inherent beauty of stones that might have been difficult to cut symmetrically due to inclusions, and bringing them to the market.

 

 

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

 

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

 

Our creations are completed through years of accumulated knowledge in designing cuts that bring out the best in gemstones, 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, asymmetrical shape.

 

Due to the irregular shape spreading from the culet, facets cannot be cut in a regular pattern when applying the flower cut.

 

Therefore, each facet must be individually inspected, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the facets must be finished without misalignment, making it a highly difficult process.

 

To create the unique brilliance of "Flame Frame," it is essential to first identify the optimal gemstone, then meticulously design the cut, and finally execute it with precise cutting techniques.

 

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

 

Furthermore, the "Flame Frame" shape, which utilizes the natural form of each gemstone, varies from piece to piece. This creates differences in how color accumulates and how light sparkles, further highlighting the individuality of each gemstone.

 

These elements contribute to an unparalleled charm that cannot be replicated, and the special feeling of owning a truly unique gemstone strengthens one's bond with it.

 

 

 

This new cut is the culmination of GemTreeJapan's experience and techniques, allowing you to enjoy a unique design and highly precise cut.

 

The "Flame Frame," representing a flame, embodies GemTreeJapan's enduring beliefs and the flame of its technical expertise, as well as the passionate flame for future challenges and developments.

 

We hope you enjoy encountering your unique gemstone through the "Flame Frame," a gemstone that resonates with your heart.
