Cut Your Own Faceted Gemstones

First stage: the choice of the Rough

If you are interested in reducing the gems, the starting point for cutting a pearl is naturally hard. There are places in the U.S., where you can dig their own mines, and precious stones, but for most people, the acquisition of funds from crude oil. Rough stones small mines in the world, and the overwhelming majority of trade will be cut, but there are some dealers specialize in selling greggioEd can acerworbs raw gems and money. Sometimes it seems a glass of vinegar, and sometimes only as a piece of colored glass. For example, I have on my site, select a piece of amethyst in Brazil, I bought a few years ago. Gross amethyst mines amethyst crystals with hammers and then click on the defective part of the stone. The result is a piece of diamond, in the absence of Bruto edges, like the Mount photos on my website.

Step two: You prefor compressionmati

The jewel is the rough sawn with a diamond saw and ground in a similar way on the surface of stone. The shape is approximately preforms. A big key to this first step is to identify and eliminate the weaknesses and find ways in which the gross margin of the stone more than what it is.

The diamond is in Sierra preform and gravel on the ground wheels. A page Dellai stone cut with a flat surface - this was the Principal Aspect of the table or floor on the top of the histone. In a first phase, the most important aspect is too flat for the rest of the stone. At this stage the stone is a preform, and you can see what the final form to be preserved.

Phase Three: Dopping Stone

In my example, a pear-shaped preform is "locked" brass dop stick. The plan DOPS aguarda the flat on the table made of stone. The glue used is a special cwurde at high temperatureen.

In my example, preforms dopped floor was glued to the brass dop stick. The end of the rough stone cut the tip to form the basis of stone. Contrary to what many people think, NO is a multifaceted process of splitting or chipping with a hammer. Procces This is only for the diamonds, and then only in the place of sawdust for prepararetaglio. Faceting is a process the grinding and polishing - it is true, with the colored Diamantund Steine. One or two of sand flat rear wheels for grinding polished facets and the return is used to make a final touch to them. The diamonds are cut and polished into a round.

Fourth step: cutting machine pierreFacettage

Here, the preform is cut and polished in a tower in my computer facets. The lower part of the foundation eprimo cut. Everyone is in an apartment near vonFräsen, then turn around and all aspects dPolishing it is polished on a lathe. The position of each is supported by the Arts and the angle of the teeth and hand carriage. This is a polished turn the car on the picture. My machine is partly homemade. The tree etpart of the Master Co., while the rest of the machine is in the house. The tree was too old - from 1950. Nevertheless, it still works very well. VierundzwanzigFacetten of cullet individually cut and polished.

Schritt five: Cut and Polish Cullet Transfer

The bottom of the stone (also known as glass) was cut and polished - losing all the fundamental aspects are polished and complete. Now it's time to go back and cut the top of the stone, known as the Corona. To this end, the stone must be transferred to another dop. The new base will lap stone, so that the top is exposed for cutting and polishing. As the first camera has ae flat surface to the desktop appearance, the second is a double V-shaped notch on the "V" shape at the bottom of the stone.

Step six: ePolonais and cuadroCorona l

The stone was from the first double-blow to polish the top of the stone - the Corona. The first issue is cut and polished in the crown is the beginning of the series or vostrobile. This is eineoder special 45-degree dop holder is for us at the table. This photo shows the complete and polish Facetten, but not the rest of the page (or crown) cut aspects - be polished and comentale later.
After all aspects of stone cut and polished, from the Declaration of Principles and cleaning stick to all the remaining wax. The wax can be softened by a gentle heat and wax plupl'arte away. Ider rest of the wax used in this process of washing, when the stone is soaked in alcohol.

Step Seven: Nice stone jewelry
