How to cut gemstones - Garnet

Watching you cut that garnet blew my mind. I have a couple of antique diamond rings and the jewels are miniscule! The effort that had to go into those chips to make them able to be set in a ring defies imagination. The time to cut ONE almost makes me wonder how it is even worth the cutters effort. 6 rubies and 1 diamond and the ring was valued at $120

Ive always wondered how gems are cut. They are not cut! So there is that. Very interesting process. Thankyou for making this available for humanity :)

Garnet is my favorite semi precious gem! I fell in love with it the minute I saw it on one of my relatives and purchased it in a ring right after :) Been wearing it every single day ever since, for 10 years already 😄❣💎 The way you cut it was really amazing, thank you for sharing! 🤓🔥 It's low-key sad though how much of gemstones gets cut to make them look commercially beautiful.. 🥲

no offence man but the music is rlly weird lol especially the music showing the Australian outback (opinion of fellow aussie), gem cutting was super informative and interesting tho!! rlly loved watching it!

I love garnets. I am 38 years old and I never knew purple colored garnets were even possible until a few years ago. On the Gem Shopping Network I saw my first purple garnet ever. The Almandine.

Love it! Thank you!

I own garnet gemstones and is the most beautiful red I ever saw ( sorry rubin) I have garnet from Mozambique, India, garnet from india is something unique

That garnet turned out to be beautiful. The rough was so ugly. You made it into a wonderful gem. Congratulations, that was amazing to watch.

The sheer symmetry of all the angles. I have a passion to do this. There are many cheap facetron style machines for sale. As an offset I could use the rotation of various grades of discs to sharpen graveurs as I do surface engraving. I also have the ability to fix engraving slips or boo boo's, through my use of a Laser Welding machine. Its also my business to repair molding tooling. I'm a Toolmaker with a passion for craft, art and especially bringing to life the inner beauty of rough stones. I've had to wait to do this...but will happen because of your inspiring and educational video's. Yes, I'm longwinded...but always an admirer of other's who dazzle me with their obvious talents and those willing to share. Thank you again.

OH how I envy YOU and your TALENT!! Garnet just happens to be my birthstone! I always wanted to be a gemologist but having very young children at that time, just wouldn't allow me to leave for the course. Then, as the years went by, "life" got in the way...I finally ended up selling fine jewelry. That's as close as I got...but I loved my profession. Now I'm retired and not physically able. Now that I've found your channel, I hope to live vicariously through YOU! Thank YOU for sharing this wonderful video and I hope to see more! ❤💎

Before 1800 these were considered rubies. When birthstones were decided in 1600 this gem was thought to be a dark ruby the color of a pomegranate.

OMGeee....your skills are Awesome... Its so beautiful! Almost my Birthstone like the Ruby. I use to have a beautiful Ruby ring when I had a Sweet 15th. Few yrs later I became a mom at a tender age. As a young parents (Age 21) my Sons father pawned my beautiful Ruby ring & all these years Ive missed my Beautiful square style Ruby stone ring with two lil diamonds on each side of it. I always wondered who bought it or has it, it was very Special to me my dads Aunt gave it to me for my 15th Birthday. But, we needed Diapers & Baby formula, Gas money. Maybe oneday I will be blessed to see it again & own it forever once again! Missing my Ruby baby... 💎😢😭 Sorry but watching this brought up memories... P.S. Enjoyed your video & talent💓
