point cut (gemstone cuts, <form attributes for gems>, ... Attributes and Properties (hierarchy name)) |
|
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. |

Additional Notes: |
|
Dutch ..... De eerst gekende slijpvorm van een diamant. De vormgeving omvat het polijsten van de facetten om de vlakken van de octaëder na te bootsen, waardoor de symmetrie en transparantie van kristallen werd verbeterd. De exacte datum van introductie is niet bekend; de meeste bronnen zijn het er echter over eens dat het tegen het einde van de 14e eeuw ontstond. |
