AGTA Spectrum Awards

I believe jewelry practitioners, collectors, and enthusiasts all know AGTA Spectrum Awards ™ (AGTA Spectral Award). AGTA Spectrum Awards ™ According to the style and type of the work, there are over a dozen award categories, presenting new achievements in jewelry design and craftsmanship innovation over the past year.

People have a relatively mature understanding in the fields of gemstone selection, jewelry design, jewelry craftsmanship, etc., and have begun to explore new areas of gemstone cutting. The AGTA Spectrum Awards, a top global competition, have been held ™ The award-winning works of gemstone cutting in China and the attention of their gemstone cutting masters are naturally increasing.
Heaven and earth nurture gemstones, endowing them with a natural state. Cutting, on the other hand, is a skillful and deliberate process of manual depiction, an important stage in the brilliant transformation of gemstones, giving them a second life. This process perfectly displays the luster and color of the gemstone, while giving it a certain shape, making it more ornamental and suitable for use in jewelry inlay. Generally speaking, colored gemstones have different colors and varying optical properties, and their cutting considerations are more comprehensive and diverse than those of diamonds.

Traditional cutting

Such as common circles, squares, olive shapes, etc., pursue a perfect standard presentation. The outline, or shape, of a gemstone should be elegant and pleasing to the eye. If the cutter believes that the raw stone is an important gemstone, they can retain most of the weight of the raw stone, even if the shape is slightly unsatisfactory, it can be accepted by people. However, if the contour lacks symmetry, it will have a significant impact on value.

Phantom cutting

Bernd Munstein invented fantasy cutting, which involves concave cuts on the back of a gemstone, allowing the front of the gemstone to shine while presenting a richer and more colorful thematic image, adding a unique and interesting touch to the eye.

Fantasy cutting does not have fixed requirements for the appearance and contour of gemstones, and can be designed according to the cutting engineer’s preferences. In response to the shape, color, and optical effects of the original stone, the cutter can freely imagine and amplify the excellent characteristics of the gemstone through different themes and expressions, thereby enhancing its value.

The most suitable romantic and passionate jewelry element for summer is definitely contrasting color jewelry! Especially in the design expression of colored gemstone jewelry works, the clever contrast between the main stone and the supporting stone is often an excellent trick for colored gemstones to appear more colorful and vibrant.

What is contrasting color design?

In fact, this is a special color expression technique, which involves juxtaposing two or more color blocks of different colors. Thus, one can feel the visual impact brought by the strong contrast between these colors, and it is also the collision of these color differences that brings a very special kind of beauty. Originally used in interior design, design is interconnected, so its application in jewelry is also very effective, bringing stunning visual impact and fashion sense.
There are many types of color combinations for jewelry, and the most common color combination is complementary color. Two colors that appear to conflict greatly are those that form a 180 ° angle on the color ring, such as red+green, yellow+purple, blue+orange, etc., which are common color combinations.
Another type is the contrasting colors of different brightness in the same color scheme, presenting a gradient texture, like the summer sunrise and sunset, gentle and hot. Alternatively, it could be a combination of cool and warm color tones, creating a unique natural atmosphere.

Suitable for contrasting color jewelry styles

In jewelry, from light contrasting colors with fresh hues to fun contrasting colors with youthful and vibrant colors, they are all choices that highlight personality and taste. In addition to common contrasting colors, there are also some styles that are very suitable for contrasting design.

In terms of the color arrangement of gemstones, three stone rings have different choices. The common color arrangement is ABA, and there are also ABC color arrangements, where the middle gemstone is the main stone and different colors are used as auxiliary stones on the left and right sides, which are both exquisite and unique.
Not only can the three stone ring have contrasting colors, but the three stone necklace is also a good choice. The style of the three stone necklace is more flexible, with richer colors and more choices.
