Each piece is finished by one setter and leaves with their name on the certificate. Nothing here is made twice — where a design is repeated, the stone is not.

This stone is normally traced live from its own recorded proportions. Your device is being spared the arithmetic — the measured angles are listed alongside.
This stone, not a stock one
The gem beside this text is not a photograph and not a video. It is built from the proportions recorded against this piece and traced facet by facet, so the light coming back out of it is the light this geometry actually returns.
Cut is the one variable a photograph cannot show and the one that costs the most. A stone a degree shallow in the pavilion leaks light through its own back and goes dull in the hand, which is exactly the thing a retouched product shot hides.

Actually this big
The circle is the girdle of the stone at 7.46 mm; the finished piece measures 9.80 mm across. If you have set your screen against a bank card, this is life size. If you have not, it is the browser's guess of 96 pixels to the inch — and it is almost certainly wrong.
Made to a commission in 2019 and shown here with the client’s permission. The column above the drop carries eleven graduated stones and the whole length is jointed in three places, so the earring swings from the lobe rather than hanging off it.
The drop stones are cut to the steep end of what we will accept — 41.1° pavilion under a 53.5% table. A steep, small-tabled stone throws a narrow, hard return that flashes rather than glows, and an earring in motion is nothing but a series of flashes. The same stone in a ring would be the wrong choice.
A commission like this occupies one setter for around nine weeks. We will make a second only in a materially different length, and we will say so to both clients.
