Gem, Cutting, Light, ProjectAbstract
The gemstone cutting project is not a trivial task. Several factors are involved and must be taken into consideration to explore the quality of the material. This article presents some basic principles that can help adornment projects to include the incidence of light on the gemstone in a conscious manner, aiming to enhance the visual effects that are intended to be obtained. The main characteristics of a gemstone are discussed, such as brightness, color, pleochroism and some optical effects such as dispersion and chatoyance. At the end of the article, a table is presented that summarizes the main Lighting Design conditions for the elaboration of a gemstone cutting project.
