This course is designed to enhance your accuracy, control, and understanding of gemstone optimization.

EARNED REWARD
The Portuguese cut is considered one of the most demanding gemstone cuts in the world. With its intricate structure of up to 177 facets, it pushes precision, patience, and understanding of light and symmetry to the very limit.
In our advanced course at First Gemcutting Academy Dubai, it becomes a true milestone - one that tests everything you have learned up to that point. Some students may feel challenged along the way, but every step is part of the learning process, and we are there to guide you through it.
And while it may look complex at first, it is also one of the most rewarding experiences in gem-cutting - proof of how far your skills have come, and a moment of real achievement when it all comes together.
