Anotations

Scope note:

The first known cutting style of a diamond or other gems. Its fashioning involved polishing the facets to mimic the faces of the octahedron, improving the symmetry and transparency of crystals. The exact date of its introduction is not known; however, most sources agree that it emerged near the end of the 14th century.
