Artist's Comments

I took a break while cutting a 6 carat Ruby and snapped this photograph of the stone in the faceting machine. I was pleasantly surprised, with both results...

Awesome picture... Makes me want to go cut some stones :)

Tanx! I was very pleased with the way it turned out.

Cutting stones isn't really all that difficult but the initial investment in equipment is steep. If you decide to get into it, I'd be more than happy to help with pointers and info. I find it very relaxing.

You're welcome :) Will you be posting a photo of the finished stone? I took a course on faceting back in August last year, and just got my machine last week. I haven't gotten my space cleared for it just yet, but I'm terribly excited for it. Thanks for the pointers offer, I may have to take you up on that :)

Ah no, finished stones rarely hang around long enough for me to photograph them though I suppose I should begin doing so, one reason for subscribing to deviantART. Lots of stones have gone under the bridge, I've been faceting for 10 years now...

I quite like your wire work.

Which machine did you get?
