One of the basic terms associated with gemstones is facet. A diamond has 57 facets, but what exactly are they? 

What is a facet?

A facet is a very ambiguous term, but in jewellery it always refers to the polished surface of a gemstone. A facet, otherwise known as a chamfer or bevel, is an oblique bevel of an edge, or corner.
