How are facets created?

Facets are created through a process called faceting, where a material, often a gemstone, is cut and polished to have multiple flat surfaces or "faces." This is done to enhance the stone's brilliance and sparkle by allowing light to enter and reflect within it. The cutting is typically performed using specialized tools and techniques that shape the stone into a desired geometric form. The arrangement and angles of these facets are crucial for achieving optimal light performance.
