Tutorial One - How To Cut A Gem
![]() Prepolishing using 3000 grit diamond. This removes any remaining surface scratches and gets the stone ready for the final polish. The secret of a excellent polish is an excellent pre-polish. |
|
![]() Polishing the pavilion, including the girdle. A well cut bespoke gem should always have a polished girdle... its the attention to detail that makes all the difference. |
|
![]() The crown is nicely polished... now onto the final step... the table. Again, depending on how accurate the cutting has been will affect how well the table comes to meet the tips of the crown facets. |
|
![]() And lastly, the table. For this I use a special attachment that allows me to come straight down and cut the table surface flat and evenly. |
|
![]() The finished bespoke gem :: morganite :: 2.1ct :: round brilliant :: eye clean :: the colour is much better and pinker in real life. It is a very bright and fine gemstone. |
