gem cutter
Facets precious stones
A gem cutter is a person who cuts and polishes precious and semiprecious stones, shaping rough minerals into faceted gems for jewelry or display.
The craft requires precision—each angle affects how light enters and exits the stone: The gem cutter studied the raw diamond for weeks before making the first cut.
