This early work on gem cutting is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It details the processes involved in different kinds of gem cutting and includes chapters on Cabochon Cutting, Facet Cutting and Special Lapidary Technic. This is a fascinating work and highly recommended for anyone interested in the art of the jeweller. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
