Methods, apparatus, and systems for managing optical characteristics of gemstones with diffractive structures are provided. In one aspect, a method includes obtaining a three-dimensional model of a gemstone including representations of surfaces of the gemstone, identifying a region on a surface of the gemstone having an optical value higher than one or more other regions on the surface of the gemstone by analyzing the three-dimensional model of the gemstone, and determining a diffractive structure to be arranged on the identified region of the surface of the gemstone, such that the gemstone with the diffractive structure has a higher optical performance than the gemstone without the diffractive structure. The method can also include fabricating the determined diffractive structure on the identified region of the surface of the gemstone.
