Side profile

A many-faceted cut with extra rows of facets above and below the girdle, often a hundred or more. The crowded facets bounce light around inside the stone and give a deep, shimmering sparkle, which is why the cut is chosen for larger stones.

  • Extra rows of facets
  • Deep, shimmering sparkle
  • Suits large stones

Imperial topaz from Ouro Preto is the classic source for the golden, sherry-toned colour the variety is named for. Clean stones of this size are especially scarce, which is why collectors look for them. It is November’s birthstone.

The Portuguese cut fills the stone with extra rows of facets for a deep, lively sparkle. Flawless to the loupe, natural, with no heat and no treatment.
