What is it?

Optix®is a revolutionary faceting method that causes gemstones to shimer and sparkle from all directions. Instead of a single reflection of light as in a regular cut, the Optix® cut creates multiple reflections which result in a superior scintillation, even colour distribution and added brilliance.

Only gemstones with superior colour and clarity are chosen to have Optix® faceting. It has taken years for cutters to master the skill of precision cutting that brings out the unique beauty of our Optix® gemstone. Instead of pinpointing light as in a regular cut, the Optix® concave cut diffuses the transmitting light in all directions thus increasing the amount of light reflected to the eye. The Optix® facets also illuminate a gem’s interior throughout its width and breadth. The result is a fascinating gemstone with evenly distributed colour and a more brilliant and lively effect.

Stone Selection

Optix® is available in many colored gemstones, but is particularly effective in light colour stones such as Amethyst, Aquamarine, Blue and White Topaz, Citrine, Lemon Quartz, Garnet, Peridot and Green and Pink Tourmaline.

The authentic Optix® cut revolutionizes the appearance of precious gems. Employing advanced light refraction science, Optix stones are precisely cut with concave facings to reflect significantly more light than stones with flat facings. The result is a stone with unmatched birlliance.
