A gemstone that is faceted is one that has been cut with several geometrically arranged, flat surfaces from its original rough surface. Each flat surface is called a facet. The shapes, sizes, numbers, angles, and placement of these facets are the key to unlocking the beauty of any gemstone. The end result of faceting gemstones is to bring to the surface the brilliance of the gemstone. Hence, a gemstone with multiple facets captures the light and enhances the reflected light.
