Virtu Gem is pleased to bring you The National Gem Cut©, a gemstone facet design developed by gem cutters across Kenya, Malawi and Zambia to honor and represent each of their nations through the art of gemstone design and cutting. Virtu Gem held workshops led by Prof. Dr. Adriano Mol which culminated in three unique and branded facet design’s. Kenya’s Cheetah head, Malawi’s Mbuna and Zambia’s Eagle. The concept behind each representational facet goes deep into the heritage and symbols of pride for the respective countries. The National Gem Cut© promotes inclusion and equity in the gem stone trade by elevating gemstones cut in source countries.
