What a wonderful talent and display of simple yet effective ancient technologies. Thank you very much for this film.

[@OhhhhhhhBugger]

WOW! This is gold! This is something I have always wondered about....

[@PeterHAdams]

Impressive research and technique. As a beginning jade carver, I will use a few of your techniques with much thanks.

[@InfernalWAVE]

this is awesome! i love the technique of using ground stone on soft metal as the grinding wheel. Im sure it embeds itself in the surface of the metal and makes a barrier. ineteresting

[@SvetoslavParvanov]

Невероятен си Чавдаре. Определено мисля, че древните хора са били много по находчиви и много по изобретателни от нас наследниците. Поздрави от Мадрид.

[@Nervii_Champion]

I don't wear jewelry, but if I wanted to, it would definitely be in the style of ancient Greeks and Romans. I like their style of jewelry.

What a great video! I love looking at ancient artifacts and I've looked at hundreds of Greek and Roman intaglio gems on various museum websites, but until today, I never looked up how they were made. This was a very informative and interesting video.

[@adamczyzewski7357]

[@v1ncepupp1o7]

Crazy impressive

[@mai4319]

Where can I study gem carving? Intaglio specifically

[@smylingsnake]

What would you say the various grades of naxos stone powder you use in the demonstration would correspond to in terms of grits of emery powder? I've a mind to try this for myself, but I'm not sure what coarse/medium/fine would mean when buying the grit.

[@cahuillatube]

Wow!
