Wallace Cut is a carving technique which creates an illusion in transparent materials by combining faceting and 360-degree intaglio into three-dimensional engraving. The resulting quintuple reflection unifies these features with precise calculation and angle casting, and forms a three-dimensional and multi-line reflection.

On the back of the gemstone Wallace Chan bored a tiny hole right in the center. This was the starting point, which also came to be the nose of the face. He slowly widened the space from inside out. As it was done in reverse, every carve was an act of reverse thinking: left was right, deep was shallow, and front was back.
