Orland Park, IL--James & Sons Fine Jewelers shared a video detailing faceting a red zircon gemstone from Tanzania. The gem was cut into a trapezoid shape using a step-cut design with rectangular facets resembling steps.
The video highlighted the precision required during dopping, attaching the gemstone to a holder with wax. James & Sons noted that this stage demands complete focus to avoid errors.
The faceting process included a noisy phase, showcasing the technical work of shaping the gem. James & Sons credited Roger Dery, a second-generation business specializing in holistically sourced gemstones, for their craftsmanship.
The retailer invited customers to visit their Orland Park location to view Roger Dery Gem Design in person.
