gem cutters
Diamond facet creators
Gem cutters are craftspeople who cut, shape, and polish precious and semiprecious stones.
The work requires precision—a poorly placed cut can ruin a valuable stone.
Gem cutters transform rough crystals into faceted gems for jewelry, using specialized tools to maximize brilliance and minimize flaws: The gem cutters examined the raw diamond before deciding how to cleave it.
