This page gathers the gemstones in our collection cut in the step cut style and graded by our workshop as fine — meaning the parallel rows of facets are evenly spaced, the corners and keel are true, and the stone returns light across its whole table rather than through a pale centre. Step cuts, which include the emerald cut, baguette and square forms, trade the rapid sparkle of brilliant faceting for broad, mirror-like flashes and a calm, architectural look.
Here you will find Aquamarine, Tanzanite, Blue Zircon, Mozambique Ruby and Rubellite Tourmaline. Each behaves differently under this cut: the open table of a step cut reads colour honestly, so pastel aquamarine appears airy, while saturated rubellite and ruby show their body colour with great depth. Tanzanite's pleochroism becomes clearly legible, and the high dispersion and refractive index of blue zircon give unusually lively returns for a step cut.
When choosing, weigh clarity against colour: a step cut conceals very little, so eye-clean material rewards this style, while deeper-toned stones benefit from the cut's generous colour display.
