Portfolio Store for Gem CuttersBrowse FormatsUse these portfolio approaches as starting points, then choose the arrangement that best represents your stones and the people you want to reach.
Lead with original faceting designs, using close and profile views to show how each pattern behaves across different gemstone materials.
Organize by shape and size range so jewelry makers can quickly assess whether your finished stones suit a planned setting or production run.
Arrange stones by species or color family and use consistent photography to make comparisons meaningful rather than dependent on changing light.
Choose images that bring facet junctions, polish, symmetry, and outline into view for viewers who care about technical execution.
Pair a selected rough with the finished gem and a brief explanation of the design decision, making transformation and yield choices easier to follow.
Distinguish stones offered for purchase from representative past work, and keep availability information clear as pieces find new owners.
A useful gem cutter portfolio helps viewers move from admiration to evaluation. The arrangement should make it easy to compare related work, understand what is available, and see where your technique is strongest. Strong examples do not need elaborate storytelling: a carefully lit image, a second angle, and a few exact details can give a jeweler or collector enough context to ask a well-informed question about the stone.
A consistent mix of face-up, side, and detail images helps reveal more than brilliance alone.
Clear dimensions and material descriptions let trade visitors consider fit and suitability without guessing.
Simple categories let each visitor find relevant shapes, cutting styles, or stone types with less browsing.
Choose categories that match how clients search, such as shape, stone type, cut style, or whether a stone is currently available.
Include verified details that help someone assess a particular stone; omit fields you cannot confirm rather than estimating them.
When the design and proportions matter, a side or pavilion view can add useful context to a face-up photograph.
Yes. Mark past work clearly so it demonstrates your capabilities without implying that the same stone remains available.
Use a repeatable lighting setup and neutral surroundings, then avoid processing that changes how the stone appears in person.
Start with work that is technically clear, visually distinctive, and representative of the kind of commissions you want to attract.
Bring your stones and their stories together in one portfolio.
