About this faceter:

I've been faceting gemstones since 1978. I cut all stone types, but prefer tourmalines, garnets, spinels, tanzanite, emeralds and corundums. Not to be stuck in a rut, I've been cutting more exotic species recently, like hackmanite, basnaesite, hexagonite and actinolite (collector's stones). When cutting, my goal is to produce the finest stone possible from the rough at hand. Perfect polish, perfect meets; these are starting points for every stone I cut. What ever the need; special attention to difficult and problematic stones, attention to detail or a special design for that special stone; these are all things I strive to provide for my clients. If these things interest you, please email me.

Stones:

2.01 cts Garnet 20.42 cts Kunzite (recut) 8.02 cts Tourmaline

Please note, this is not an endorsement of the cutter's listed.
Always do your research before choosing someone to cut your stone.
