Talk:Facet

I am a first-time gem buyer, and I find the jargon a little forbidding. Table, antique, cabochon, trilliant, etc. I have guessed at the meaning of a few of these, but I don't want to spend good money based on my guesses and a web picture or two.

Does anyone have a good reference for a list of such terms, so I can decide what they mean? In particular, right now I'm looking for stones carved fairly flat so a setting wouldn't have to be too thick.

Thanks for any help!

There is an article titled "Gem Cutting Terms" in the International Gem Society's Reference Library. http://www.gemsociety.org/info/info.htm

jbottoms76: The term "facet" is a keyword in knowledge representation. To allow the addition of a new meaning for facet a disambiguation page needs to be added. --Jbottoms76 (talk) 14:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
