FACETING I
INSTRUCTOR: TOM MITCHELL
In this class you will learn the art of meet point gem faceting. No math skills are required. All the math has been done for you. If you read, follow directions, and perhaps have a little patience you cut your own bling. You will learn how to examine a stone to determine if it is facet worthy. You will also learn how to read a faceting diagram and how to apply the instructions on the diagram to the faceting machine, then how to cut and polish the facets and much more. This requires magnification in the form of an Opti VISOR or other magnification device. Your first stone should be better cut than those in most commercial jewelry stores. The Class Fee includes my book: Faceting 1, Learn the Fine Art of Gem Faceting, It’s Easy! plus several easy cutting designs, the first stone you cut, a Spectra Ultralap for polishing and much more.
