A concave Pear cut Imperial Topaz. Imperial Topaz is the most sought after and expensive variety of topaz. It is not called Imperial for nothing. It reflects the creativity of nature in forming one gem with the most exquisite interplay of golden brown, orange and amber red.
Under a 10 x Jewelers loupe the gem is classed as VVS1 (100% eye clean) with no visible damage to any of the facets. The pavilion is concave cut.
The Concave Cut consists of three dimensional conical shaped facets cut on the pavilion of the gem that creates depth as well as length and breadth. Instead of the facets being joined by an angle, they are joined with a groove. This third dimension allows the gem to refract more light and maximizes its brilliance. The Concave Cut also distributes light more evenly, giving the gem a stunning interior glow. Some gems increase up to 100% in brilliance when Concave Cut.
