Branded cuts are exclusive shapes for gemstones,
usually under patent protection, aiming to
present added value and act as a visual signature of
the company.
EMPIRE CUT. . .
Companies market a branded gemstone in an
effort to create a nicheand distinguish themselves
from their competition.
First branded cut for a brazilian gemstone: Imperial Topaz.

. . .
Since a brand in any industry should be synonymous with a
higher standard of quality and craftsmanship,
a branded gemstone has met or exceeded specific standards
so it can bear its name.
In this context, the brand adds value to the product.
