How gemstones are cut. A kite shape.

Welcome to my channel about gem cutting. This video is about faceting a gem in cubic zirconia material . This synthetic (man made) material has a high refractive index which makes for a sparkly gemstone.
I cut with an ultra tec v2 faceting machine with a digital angle display upgrade.
I sell finished jewelry and gemstones in my eysy.com store : www.etsy.com/s...
I have a pinterest board for faceting designs and other related interests.

Got it this morning. Very nice cutting job, Brent. I was nervous just watching you bring those meets in. Thanks for the nice video.

[@tennpikr74]

Thank you john, i think with the very sharp points, this gem cut would not be very practical to mount into jewelry although there maybe a way to .

Thank you, its not difficult to cut but t care is needed with the sharp points as they can be chipped very easily.

Love the video!!!!

Ficou muito linda

Great video, why a copper lap on the pavilion and a tin on the crown?

[@tennpikr74]

The copper lap is a prepolish lap used for 8k diamond , the tin is for final polish using 60k diamond. sometimes if i can see a way to make a shortcut i will eliminate a step in the cutting and polishing procedure. Once i cut a pavillion and see how the m aterial is reacting to the laps and compounds i might change my strategy later on the crown . Also the smaller the stone the finer the disc that can be used for cutting.

[@jitzera1122]

Hi Brent you got me really interested in gem faceting how much will it cost for me to get into it as a hobby?

[@tennpikr74]

If you can get a used american made machine such as a graves , you can start for under $1000.

[@mamaykomariyah1212]

Permata apakah itu..?
