After many long hours in the gemstone shop, I have cut dozens of roughs into fine gemstones. In fact, I also spent a few days photographing the gems so they can be added to our site.
There is now a wide selection of freshly cut gemstones available here at Gems by James. Dozens of gems including citrines, aquamarines, garnets, amethysts and others are all on the site. For those interested, you can see the entire selection in our gemstone and jewelry shop. Below please find a few examples and a few of my personal favorites:

The Portuguese Cut Gemstone
The “Portuguese Cut” refers to a particular type of faceting. It is a cut with two rows of rhomboidal facets and three rows of triangular facets above and below the girdle. The Portuguese cut therefore has an extra row of facets on the crown that enhances the brilliance of the gem. The Portuguese cut is one of the more popular fancy cuts in the market. You can find a wide variety of gems cut in this fancy style.
