Chaton Maxima Round Stones - the underside
The underside of these stones is significantly higher than the top side and, in contrast to the top side, tapers to a point. Here, too, the pointed underside serves to increase the brilliance and color depth of the stone. Gemstones are usually foiled on the underside, which has the advantage that the glue does not shine through when the stones and the light in the stone is better reflected. In the article description you will always find a note whether the stone is foiled.
