Before and after of an Ethiopian Emerald
Before and after of an Ethiopian Emerald
This was one of the first emeralds I ever cut, and given the quality of the stone (not super fine), I'm pretty happy about how it turned out.
Yes.. I'm going to keep posting in hopes of someone else adding their own posts to the faceting community. 😜
Agreed. No knowledge of your craft, but I’m enjoying seeing your posts.
Looks great!
How long does this sort of work take?
A minimum of 4 hours for a single stone, but it can take as long as 8 hours depending on the cut, type and size of the stone.
Please do keep posting! I have no knowledge about this subject but it is interesting and pretty!
I posted a series of posts around how I cut stones in the faceting community, check it out!
Does your picker have a little light inside it, or is that just the way the light is reflecting because of the cut itself?
That's just the way the light is reflecting within the stone. This particular emerald has a number of inclusions and internal fractures. As I said it isn't the highest quality. 😀
