Facet Calculator

The Facet Calculator serves as a professional tool that uses stone type identification and cutting style analysis to calculate gemstone facet counts.

Round Brilliant Cut stands alongside Princess Cut as the most used gemstone cuts, while Emerald Cut and Cushion-Cut, along with Oval-Cut, Rose Cut, Radiant Cut, and Asscher Cut create the most popular styles.

The Formula

The mathematical calculation requires multiplication of gemstone quantity by the facet count which corresponds to the gemstone type and cut. The general formula is,

Total Facets=Number of Gemstones×Facet Count

In this formula,

• The complete number of facets establishes the Total Facets value of a specific gemstone quantity.
• The gemstone quantity becomes visible through the displayed number of Gemstones.
• The combination of selected gemstone type and cut shape decides the total number of facets, also known as the Facet Count.

Example

A total of 290 facets results from multiplying five diamonds by their Round Brilliant Cut facet count of 58.

Total Facets=5×58=290 The formula makes it easy to calculate total facets through simple multiplication of gemstone type and cut with quantity.

A precise determination of specific facet counts exists for each gemstone type and cut to successfully apply this formula.

How does the Facet Calculator work?

The Calculator applies pre-established facet counts for defined gemstone types and cuts to deliver its results. The Calculator functions through a specific step-by-step process which follows these steps:

User Input

Users choose between diamond, ruby, and sapphire gemstones through an available dropdown selection. Next, the user chooses a specific gemstone shape from another menu selection (Round Brilliant Cut, Princess Cut, Emerald Cut) among others.

Quantity Input

Users must input their gemstone quantity using an available data field.

Calculation

A predefined set of facet counts from the Calculator comes directly from the selected gemstone type and cut combination. The calculator performs a multiplication operation by combining gemstone quantity with facet count data based on the selected gemstone type and cut.

Result Display:

The result shows the total number of facets. The result shows the complete count of polished surfaces (facets) from all gemstones with the chosen type and cut.

Example

The system generates total facet counts for Round Brilliant Cut diamonds at (10 \times) 58 through user-selected sets of 10 diamonds. Designing gemstones and jewelry benefits significantly from the calculator’s multiple features.
