All gemstones listed here have been cut by myself. I work exclusively with a precision machine when faceting gemstones. This allows extra brilliance and appeals only seen in precision-cut gems. Gemstones are cut at their correct refractive index using digital precision, this facilitates making the correct facet angles allowing the maximum amount of light to enter and reflect back up through the table. This allows optimum brilliance according to each gemstone's individual refractive index. Special care in polishing ensures that the faceted gem is showcased in all its brilliance. The introduction of precision faceting machines has revolutionized the art of gem cutting allowing the gem cutter to unveil the inner beauty of every single gemstone like it has never been done before. The cut of a gem is one of the main values of a gemstone and each gemstone requires special attention in order to unveil its potential beauty. If you're looking for that extra special stone, I hope you find it here.
Sincerely,
Doug

Welcome to DougPamGems. As a professional cutter specializing in opals (Topshelfopals), I have now ventured into the world of "other" gemstones. Precision faceting is my new-found love. As with opals, my goal is to reveal as much whimsical wonder and beauty as a piece of rough can produce. It is my goal to allow these heavenly treasures to lead and guide me, to shape and polish these colorful rustic stones into pure eye candy, to allow them to come into fruition as objects of beauty to pleasure and inspire others like myself. As an award-winning faceter and member of the USFG, You can rest assured that your gemstone has been cut and polished with love, excitement, anticipation and professional skill.
