Browser-based gem-faceting studio

Design, cut & render precious gems — right in your browser.

A real faceting workbench: slice a 3D gem with true index-gear geometry, browse a deep library of designs, follow step-by-step cutting guides, and render the result with a live raytracer. No install, no download.

Everything from first sketch to finished stone

Pluto merges the design table, the cutting guide and the render viewer into a single studio — the same convex plane-clipping engine drives all three.

Design

Start from a rough stone and cut your own faceting design with real index-gear geometry, symmetry and meetpoint chaining. Press Cut and the 3D gem is actually sliced.

Create original cuts

Catalog

Browse and filter a curated library of designs from renowned faceters, then render each one in any of 60+ gem materials to preview fire, brilliance and colour.

Cut

Follow a guided, step-by-step cutting sequence — every tier, angle and index position spelled out — so you can take a design from the screen to the lap with confidence.

Step-by-step guide

A raytraced render viewer & a full gem toolkit

A genuine in-browser raytracer, plus the reference tools a faceter actually reaches for — no spreadsheets, no side apps.

  • Spectral raytracing with fire, brilliance & hearts-and-arrows scopes
  • RI, specific-gravity, Mohs hardness & dispersion reference charts
  • Critical-angle, tangent-ratio, carat-weight & yield calculators
  • Motion & turntable views, plus offline video export

Cut your own from rough — and see exactly how it performs

Start from a rough stone and build an original faceting design with real index-gear geometry, symmetry and meetpoint chaining. Press Cut and the 3D gem is actually sliced — then put it under Pluto's optical analysers to measure light and fire long before you ever touch a lap.

Analyse Light — ray-behavior report
Analyse light

Trace every ray — see where light is won and lost

Analyse Light fires tens of thousands of rays across 17 viewing directions and reports how much light your design returns to the eye, plus where the rest escapes.

  • Light return, head-shadow, leakage & absorption at a glance
  • Tilt performance — face-up, 10° and 20° — so you know it holds up in the hand
  • A per-tier breakdown by entry facet, with return, head & leak for each
  • Plain-English issues & remedies — e.g. “light bouncing off the underside of the crown: reduce the crown angle”
Analyse Fire — dispersion-behavior report
Analyse fire

Measure the flash of colour your cut throws

Analyse Fire sends dispersed red-and-blue rays through the stone to quantify fire — the rainbow sparkle a design coaxes out of a material's dispersion.

  • A single fire index, built from colour spread, fiery-ray % and light return
  • Colour spread in degrees, measured face-up and as the stone tilts
  • Per-tier fire by entry facet — see which facets are doing the fanning
  • Tuned to the material's real dispersion (e.g. cubic zirconia at 0.060)
Cut mode

A guided path from rough to finished stone

Cut mode turns any design into a step-by-step cutting sequence and shows the 3D gem taking shape facet by facet as you work down the list.

Rough → brilliant

Every tier, angle and index — spelled out

Follow the sequence on screen and watch the rough resolve into a finished cut. The next facet is highlighted live, so there's no guesswork between the design table and the lap.

  • The next facet to cut is highlighted live on the stone
  • Exact angle and index-gear position for every facet
  • Watch tiers complete as the stone rounds up into a finished cut
  • Free to follow along for beginner designs (1–2★)

The name

Pluto, unearthed.

In Roman myth, Pluto ruled the underworld — and with it every precious thing buried beneath the earth: the metals and gemstones hidden in the dark. The god of gems, of riches below.

Unearthed is the joy of bringing them up into the light — a studio for exploring, cutting and discovering gems.
