Face-up Fire or Face-up Color


"Face-up fire" and "face-up-color" are terms used to describe a stone that presents a strong play of color when viewed from directly above. This is a highly desirable type of fire that makes an excellent presentation when the stone is set in jewelry. Stones that make their best presentation of color in the face-up position earn premium prices..
