Cliff what a gorgeous cut and the finished rings are fabulous. You have made those CZ’s into fine jewelry. Thanks for sharing the process.

[@tamwolf20]

Absolutely beautiful!!! It is great to see your work in my feed. I have missed it. I hope to be back to cutting soon. In the process of buying a house at the moment.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks Tam. When your in your new home you can set up the gem cutting room.

[@johncarruthers5552]

Lovely looking stone and, as usual, a beautiful job of cutting.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks John.

[@SnowTiger45]

Great Design Cliff. Awesome looking gemstone and a great looking ring. I have no doubt your wife loves it.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks. My wife likes most of the gems I facet for her.

[@wildwestdetectorist7235]

I like the eye gem, but that second brilliant square is fabulous, and my preference. I'm happy to see another of your videos. Your videos got me into faceting during the pandemic.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks. I like both gems. The eye gem has more facets, and the other has less. Often less facets means more brilliance.

[@jeffholmes1362]

Beautiful job Cliff and that is a lovely CZ colour. Thanks for sharing

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks Jeff

[@GrassyManifesto]

Eye designs are most of my favorites 😍

[@VintageTimeGems]

Eye desgns are my fav design also.

[@RayRusawcocktailminer]

Juneau Alaska loves your channel , my grand father cut gems and I was always fascinated at his skills, ps enter the Jaws moment

[@dcallan812]

Nice stone, I do like a square cut gem and its a very different cut on one. Nice work 2x👍

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks

[@w3vjp568]

You should record your videos in 4K, they look great but 4K would REALLY do them justice!

[@VintageTimeGems]

One day when I get a new computer and a better camera I will do that.

[@nolanphoto]

Beautiful expert work! 🧙🏻‍♂️

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks

[@denisereynolds64]

a lovely design for a beautiful woman. good job, thank you for sharing ♥️ wow! then i see the finished product. i just want to throw it out there for you. let me know if you are looking for a second wife, lol!

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks. Lol, faceting for one wife takes enough of my time.

[@denisereynolds64]

Linda facetas nessa peça.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks

[@FatKidBrody]

Good to see you mate. Hey I am wondering if you have cut any Helenite yet. If you don't know what it is it's manmade out of the volcanic ashes from Mount St. Helens. It has a mhos of 7-7.5. Mine is a lush green and i don't care for green. I bought some cut stones out of it because I wanted to see it. My clients love the stuff. You might give it a peek. Cheers

[@VintageTimeGems]

Yep, I have faceted Helenite. Made a video on it years ago (Volcanic gems). Hard to polish as it really Obsidian (molten glass). I'm not a fan of cutting any type of glass.

[@yankeetimeline]

Beautifully done. Love the design! Is it a 64 or 96 index design?

[@RezeemRong27]

Great .. ....

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks

[@wilhelmuskruize9681]

Cliff another great video and a beautiful stone. Were did you get your settings from, I presume online but what are they called or who is the supplier I am going nuts trying to find out where to get them from.

[@TonysGemDesignswithGCS]

Looks good, Mate!

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks

[@RayRusawcocktailminer]

wow it sure has a lot of fire

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks Ray.

[@gemfaceter]

Cliff another great video and a beautiful stone. Were did you get your settings are they custom made?

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks...I bought the settings online.

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

nice work mate

[@Algoldprospecting]

Nice work. What do use for pre polishing and polishing? Thanks

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks. Copper discs using a 8000 diamond grit on the pre polish and a 50,000 diamond grit on the final polish.

[@Algoldprospecting]

@@VintageTimeGems thanks for the information 👍

[@stephenfleming6020]

that was a great job you done with that cz, wondering who loves each other more, wifey gets really nice jewelry and you get ?

[@berthageorge2627]

I could watch your stone cutting a day.......♦️...........❤️...........😊

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks...I would like to facet more when I retire.

[@jameswelch1054]

I always enjoy your cutting and videos, but I am just not into synthetics.

[@VintageTimeGems]

Thanks. I can understand why many people don't like synthetics. My preference was always natural, but over the years with the cost and the lack of quality material synthetics have their place in the world of faceting. I would love to be faceting real pink diamonds or sapphires, but they are out of my price range.

[@jameswelch1054]

@@VintageTimeGems Yes, I totally understand. Only kings can afford to buy a real pink diamond. You are my favorite gem cutting channel. I also like Bopie's channel, and another guys channel from the USA. All of you have both shows on cutting naturals, and some with synthetics. How far are you from Rubyvale? They have some free collecting sites over there, or maybe you could wrestle Tim, for a sapphire, hahaha. Anyways I love your shows, you are the best.

❤ very good stones 👍👍👍👍🌏👍💎
