At Crescent Gems we offer high quality production faceting. We do small and large orders, and pride ourselves on the high quality of our work. why should you settle for the poorly cut stones produced by the "jam peg" or "native" faceting that is done in Thailand and India ? At Crescent Gems, skilled workers use Immahashi index faceting machines to cut with "meet point" accuracy. This is the same type of faceting that is done by custom cutters in the United States.

SEE HOW WE CUT GEMSTONES

Its Your factory for Faceting and Cabbing Gemstones at affordable prices. At Crescent Gems, your stones will not only receive better cutting, they will also receive better cuts! Most production cutters use the simplest cuts possible, because fewer facets = less time. Cutters at Crescent Gems, on the other hand, take extra time and care to ensure that all of your stones will be bright and lively. Round stones receive the very demanding and complicated "Portuguese" cut. Ovals and pears receive a "modified Portuguese" cut. Finally, emerald shapes get barion pavilions for maximum brilliance, and squares receive a "princess" cut. All stones are polished with 50,000 grit diamond,and carefully cleaned of oil and foreign matter before being packaged and shipped to you. All rejects are returned with your finished stones.
