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.
Since 2009, he is specialised in concave cutting, a new cutting method which only five cutters in the entire Madagascar are capable of. Besides that, Gerorges creates theme carved stone facetes, such as [[zebu]], scorpion or flowers. He works with an armpiece on 2 machines, one of which he designed himself.
