This book not only teaches you to facet but also includes a history of faceting never
before published and many tips to improve your gem cutting skills. Both
beginners and experienced cutters will find this book of interest.
Gemcutting is truly international in that the craft has been influenced
by many nationalities since the earliest forms of gem cutting several
millennia ago. Many rapid changes have occurred in the faceting craft
over the last few decades and this book gives an interesting overview
of these changes, however the authors are quick to admit that not every
stone has been overturned! This book highlights also some of the major
advances in faceting from the use of the jampeg method to the computer
designs and cutting of today.
While workshops, seminars and short courses are often available through clubs and
colleges in many parts of the world, faceting has been generally a self
taught craft.  John and Peter believed that a faceting text book was
needed to overcome the difficulties facetors have in finding help when
it is most needed. By drawing on their own extensive experience and
the contributions of other facetors worldwide, the authors have compiled
this comprehensive faceting manual.
They have used their wealth of skills in presenting this manual in a
form which both beginners and experienced facetors will find
informative and easy to follow.
