Changes

In 1987 Georges opened his own workshop and showroom in [[Tulear]], south of Madagascar. With the founding launch of the ''[http://www.igm.mg Institute of Gemology of Madagascar ] (IGM)'' in 20042003, he took a 3-month course and deepened his already broad knowledge of gems and minerals. In 2008 Georges won the first price for the best cut stone out of 200 participants.

Georges cuts all gems according to the needs and wishes of his customers. He cuts facets following international standards. A facet is composed of many small, three or four-cornered, smooth polished surfaces, allowing the gem to reflect light.Since 2009, he is specialised in concave cutting, a new cutting method which only five cutters in the entire Madagascar are capable of. Concave cuts have three times as much light reflections as single, flat facet cuts. Besides that, Gerorges Georges creates theme carved stone facetesfacets, such as [[zebu]], scorpion or flowersstar signs. He works with an armpiece on 2 two machines, one of which he designed himself.
