Can we combine FACETED GEMS with CABCHONS? We give it a try!
Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks? For the last couple years, Jim has been learning how to facet beautiful gemstones, while Kate has been working to polish rocks on the cabbing machine. Setting the gemstones has been a challenge. Can they solve the problem by setting the gem into a flaw in this beautiful condor agate? Come along as Jim explains the process of creating brilliant, shining gemstones through faceting, and the pair experiment with ways to inset the stone. If you've ever wondered how faceted gems are made, this is a video for you!
