renavik I like to put in macro shots as faceting for me is about good meet points. Hard to accomplish, and at times darn right impossible. I've noticed that many videos don't show close macro shots of cut gems. Thanks for watching.
Nice work!! Just GORGEOUS. Makes me wanna be a lapidary. I've had a passion for rocks, minerals, and ALL gemstones my whole life. I just love the idea of digging out the treasures of the Earth, & making them SPARKLE, & look so very perfect. Maybe one day...😊. Right now I just enjoy looking at my collection. I don't think I'll ever tire of looking at sparklers. I envy your talent! 💎👑💍
I should have been getting ready to go out for lunch, but an hour and a half and 5 videos later I'm still watching. Your videos are mesmerizing and addictive and your talent is 🤯! Thank you for sharing it with us. You have one more subscriber.
Hi Oliver, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Faceting gems is something everyone can learn.Hopefully these video inspire people to try something more unusual as a hobby. Cheers
A gorgeous cut on a stunning stone!! I can’t possibly imagine what king of jewelry it would become, but I know plenty of people who would love something shiny to add to their hordes.
Amazing. I want that sooooo soooo much. I'll never forget this stone or your excellent video. Loved it for everything. Stone, cutting demonstration, music and video editing. Well done sir!
Love those prismatic flashes. Lots of tedious work involved. It would be wonderful if I could come across such a large stone and have you cut it for me.
I have cut many Portuguese cut stones big and small it's my all time favorite cut! I made a 315 ct. out of Smokey quartz. It's a great cut but a real pain to do, takes a lot of time! You did a fantastic cut! Something to be proud of! Thanks for the video.
You even share where you get your stuff from! So glad I found you. Loved this so much I can promise I'll be -at least attempting to- make one myself! So relaxing, genuinely frustrating to watch bc I wanted to to thru all of it, but I kept closing my eyes lol
Fantastic my brother.... I love your brain..... You don't follow the book.....!!! You use your brain and come up with something that works better.....:) :) :) Love people with real brains and skill Hope you live forever......!!!!! :) :) :)
You use a transfer block and secure the dop sticks so they are perfectly centered to each other. Its shown briefly when he first glues it onto the dop stick after preforming it.
mic poli It is not all that easy even with the transfer jig. Especially if you use wax. Sometimes when I transfer, the stone will come slightly off center because of the heat. I kinda sucks.
@@VintageTimeGems Wow, good to know and appreciate all of the labor hours. Is there any way to increase automation for this process? Or will that result in lower quality facceting?
outstanding!...now cut/polish a chunk of CZ that size Ideal....AGS triple 0...love the lavender hue...how much does a rough piece cost in vivid red cost?....and how much do you want to cut/polish it Ideal ?
I don't care if it's cubic zirconium or diamond. I'd rock the CZ any day. It looks just as amazing. Who's going to call you out? Maybe if you attend a super high class event with a bunch of snobs.
Impressive cut. I think you could have thrown a few more facets at it lol..... amazing work. Great video showing the skill of A REAL artisan. Again great work man
I have a newfound appreciation for gem workers. Beautiful gem and a fantastic video. New subbie!
Rheo Milvus Thanks...Cutting gems is not easy. Doesn't take much for thing to go wrong. This gem took about a month on and off to cut. Cheers
probably the most cinematic and .....easy to understand gem cutting video ....those macro shots

Vintage Time I love watching and only wish I had your skill. What is this stone? Crystal or something else synthetic? It’s gorgeous‼️✨🤩✨💎☀️✨
@@gigisdiamonds Cubic Zirconia.
Amazing how accurate you are with lining up all the facets.
Burks Hi that's what it's all about getting those facets to perfectly meet. Thanks for watching. Cheers
So stunning, it looks like an eternity of facets. Wonderful work, thank you
Thank you...This gem took forever to facet.
I had no idea how these get cut. Very fascinating! Thank you
I love the old Portuguese style...lots of personality...charming...and your photography of the process...excellent
I would come sit, and watch this master work all day long.
The gem and the process were so amazing, i not even realize how much annoing it was to listen the same f song for 15 minutes, Good job!!
Thanks. I probably should have changed the song. These day I use more varieties of songs.
Actually, I really love the song and found it nice to listen to. What song is it??
How beautiful this is! Pure talent you have!
Thank you...Glad you enjoyed the video.

Fantastic cinematography.
Reh Petr Thanks. I try to make the videos the best I can. Thanks for watching.
Awesome cut... It sure is hard work and precision math..
Keep it up and keep posting more
what a work of art, you did a great job
I had no idea so much work went into cutting gemstones. No wonder they cost so much. The labor is most of the price!
"labour" is 78% of the price
Did you know sometimes it could take years just to cut one daimond
The value is in the rarity of the gem itself. Cutters in Thailand would make $10, maybe, for cutting that.
@@Mutant_11 Its not ment in that way. The stone is worth fuck all untill it's cut, that's why " labour and cutting " is all of the value
Wow, amazingly beautiful.
Thanks....This gem turned some heads at the gem club I attend. Really scintillates in all directions,
That is just so beautiful, the guy is good.
Absolutely Beautiful!!! ❤💗❤
Thanks Rea.
The gem very big carat!Look so nice!
Absolutely stunning, good work mate!

It requires too patience !
Great work ...
Thank you

Thank you saru.
Ah, you gotta love those old camera artifacts when it sees reflected sunlight
Oh my goodness what a beauty mouthwatering donno why it's like a delicacy
You even share where you get your stuff from! So glad I found you. Loved this so much I can promise I'll be -at least attempting to- make one myself! So relaxing, genuinely frustrating to watch bc I wanted to to thru all of it, but I kept closing my eyes lol
Great video man. It looks like the red one. I also noticed there's crystal sculptures, and even glass crystals dishware. Very amazing stuff.
Fantastic my brother....
I love your brain.....
You don't follow the book.....!!!

Beautiful no words for it
A great artista
Well done sir , iv been a jeweller for 35 yrs , i would like to do this as a career for a time before i retire .
How do you insure that rod mounting was perfectly centered? Sounds like a nightmare to accomplish perfectly.
You use a transfer block and secure the dop sticks so they are perfectly centered to each other. Its shown briefly when he first glues it onto the dop stick after preforming it.
mic poli It is not all that easy even with the transfer jig. Especially if you use wax. Sometimes when I transfer, the stone will come slightly off center because of the heat. I kinda sucks.
So beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Excellent work.
