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 6.28 mm; the finished piece measures 15.40 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.
The drawing for this ring is in the archive under 1954, and the only change since is that the shoulders were opened by half a millimetre in 1998 so more light could reach the two side stones from underneath.
The three stones are cut as a set from the same parcel of rough and matched for colour under north light before any of them is seated. Matching by certificate rather than by eye is faster and it produces trilogies where the centre stone looks faintly grey against its neighbours, because a grading report describes a stone in isolation and a trilogy is never seen in isolation.
The centre is cut steep — 41.0° in the pavilion, 35.2° in the crown — which narrows the returned light into a tighter, harder pattern than the side stones give. Standing next to two shallower stones it reads as the brighter of the three even though it is the darkest under a diffuse light.
