In 1987 Georges opened his own workshop and showroom in [[Tulear]], south of Madagascar. With the launch of the ''[http://www.igm.mg Institute of Gemology of Madagascar] (IGM)'' in 2003, 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.
