The document describes an interior design project for a mini jewelry store called Pink Chic. The design was inspired by the geometry of gemstone cuts and facets. A perfect square bent along the diagonal was used to create faceted patterns, which were then scaled and incorporated into the design using various materials. Photographs show the finished storefront, entrance, display walls, and accent wall which feature the faceted patterns and angles interpreted from gemstone cuts.
