Justin K Prim 💎 The Gemcutters Craft 💎 Magus Gems
Hello and welcome to my channel. The videos you will find here are an expression of my passion for the art and science of gemcutting and the history behind it. Watch as I uncover the secrets behind the gem cutters craft as well as dive deep into the machines being used to cut gems around the world.
Currently, my scope of research begins in Europe in the late 1300's and extends all the way until now. As the channel grows, you will hopefully find a healthy mix of instructional faceting videos (reflecting my role as faceting teacher at the Faceting Apprentice Institute), gem cutting gear vids (reflecting my role as a gear nerd), gem analysis videos, and history-based videos (reflecting my role as a history nerd).
I hope you enjoy the videos and find what you're looking for. If I've left a question unanswered, please leave a comment and let me know. If you want to follow me in other places, click the social media buttons on top.
