Giving This Gemstone New Life, How I Recut This Damaged Tanzanite
มุมมอง 83Kปีที่แล้ว
The tanzanite that I cut in this video is a recycled gemstone, which is what I call a gemstone that has been previously in jewelry, but has been taken out and is intended for use in jewelry again. This piece was too warn to make a good jewelry piece as it was, so I used my skills as a Gem Cutter to turn the old piece into a new and modern work of art worthy of being set back in fine jewelry.

"I call it the Flux Capacitor cut"
🤔Un Hermoso Trabajo Hermano Siiiiuuuuu 💪🏼
Cool now do one twice this size and I’ll subscribe
EXCELLENT!
Bro wow hats off
If Adam Sandler had just hired you then maybe that movie would have ended differently
nice job，I like your video。
What is the total time from start to finish?
That is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unpopular opinion but I love the cloudy greenish/grayish/blue of the montana sapphires 😍
Way more commentary. Far less crappy music next time. Thanks. I barely tolerated it.
Shield of the Tri-Force! In Blue Topaz!!
Proff, can I send you the images of that I think diamond property?
Hi very good
Very cool, but terrible music!!!!
Beautiful stone!! I felt bad for you when i saw you put that chunk on the lap!! I know how hard it is to take off material in a smaller stone and boy what a job and challenge you gave yourself!!👍😍👻🤪🌶
What a chonker!
That came out looking amazing! You are a gem artist for sure, and it is an art. A very skilled art especially when you are creating your own designs and not copying a basic cut. But I do gotta say, I did shed a tear for how much stone you lost in that cut. Seeing the end result was worth it, now if you could find a bigger stone and make a bigger one!😂
Looks like the old 1800's door knobs
Use baking soda Puff onto your gorilla glue ,helps bond tremendously
the way that shop owner gasped for air was everything and more, he was breathtaking by your work and I bet he knows a lot about gemstones than I know, so huge respect to you and your work.
Thank you for the step by step, I'm waiting for my Faceting Machine to get in so I can start. Don't stop making this quality content!
Hi
So ni🎉❤🎉
That was AMAZING!! Thanks for sharing!!
Much patience needed to do this kind of work.

That’s amazing bro great job!
A Nice Gear Shiftar
Sick gem! Horrible music choice
Very cool video and a beautiful gem when done. Really amazing to look at, even as a video.
Could only take 5 min of that beatbox. would have liked to see the final cut
Call me dumb, but why isn’t there CNC Faceting machines. Run the program an presto, hands free perfection.
I got lost after glueing the stone to the dop stick. Your sorcery is disturbing yet faceting. Thank you kind wizard!
The crystal is very pretty. But it is so valuable thanks to you. What is the value of this stone today?
I’ve got a 1/4 kilo for sale if anyone’s interested
I'll give you five bucks for it.
Make a ring out of it I can give it to my girlfriend😅
