Do You Know the Value of Gem Cutting?

August 7, 2016 By Laura Jackowski-Dickson

Ever wondered why some stones that appear to be the same have such a wide variety of costs? It’s all in the value of gem cutting.

John Dyer – Master Gem Cutter

This week I want to share with you a video produced by John Dyer, gem cutter extraordinaire, multiple award winner, and really just a nice guy. The video is a tutorial on the importance of a well cut stone and its added value to a jewelry piece as well as an explanation on why  fine jewelry cost just a little more…but , it is definitely worth every dollar !

This is in a Master’s own words, his video, the truth about a well cut stone with excellent examples ! This is what you need to know…

Enjoy !

I have purchased a fabulous blue/green Tourmaline from  John’s  Criss Cross Cut collection …working on a design as we speak! My only dilemma is should it become a pendant or a ring? Will share some drawings with you soon, so you can let me know what you think.

Let John explain and shed a new light on the importance of a well cut stone!

Hope everyone has a fabulous week! Journey with passion, always.
