Trying my hand at a bit of free form faceting. This is very exciting for me! It’s something I have wanted to do for many years. I like to try to get into the minds of the ancient gemstone cutters and imagine what it would be like cutting each facet by hand without fancy machines. I’m very fortunate to have a machine to help me. It does looks pretty ancient but I’m so lucky to have come across it. I have no desire to make calibrated cuts though, I’ll leave that to the experts!! This is super fun! I love how the topaz on the left came out!!
