HOW TO FACET The world's most spectacular gem! 

I came across your video by complete fluke. I have no idea about the technical terms you used but the end result is breath taking. Take a bow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It turned out beautiful Cliff!

I can't stop watching your videos. Such a magnificent craftsmanship!

fantastic fantastic , thanks and stay safe Cliff

I have never seen this cut before. Absolutely stunning work!

Hi Cliff, fellow Aussie, love your way. (Aussie band Powderfinger reference.) Yay Australia, besetest country in the world. Nice gemstone cutting too. The only thing left is to set it into a beautiful piece of jewellery.

perfect gemcut, really cool to watch with music on, tnx alot

This is just jaw dropping incredible. So complex!!!

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Hi Cliff. I'm from Melbourne. Amazing work! That is my favourite that you have cut so far. Are you selling any of these? I would buy.

Beautiful.

that is truly next level

Hello Cliff from a Canadian fan. I just found your site, and am very impressed. I an very new to gem cutting...have yet to purchase a machine, but am learning and researching every day. What machine would you recommend for cutting? Do you know anything about the Sri Lankan machine with the hand held tri-footed device? Recommend it or not? Regards, Jason

Do you have the design diagram for this beautiful facet from your design at all please.

Exquisite👍

🤯🤯🤯 wicked cut cliff. Defently one design id love to cut myself one day. Kudos man you killed it🤙

Next make the jewel from goldeneye 007 out of a huge cz.

how much grit used for the final polishing ??

hello I need to buy one of this facet arm, do you have it??

I don't like that microns angles cuts honestly. Prefer bigger angle, but it's strike so powerful in the point than the blurry micros.

it looks like the millenial eye from yugioh

Bukan tutup material Monitor Monocoque

the depth to that stone is mesmerizing

My God, Cliff!!! That is absolutely the most stunning job I've ever seen... Incredible. Adjusting the C1 angle was a stroke of genius... I'm sure Bob Keller is looking down from heaven with a wonderful smile on his face. Thank you for the best video ever. 😍

Just started watching a couple days ago, love gemstones, don’t think I have the patience to cut but I’m a middling collector

What an amazing pinnacle of craftsmanship. I'm never less than amazed at your skill and ability for faceting. I'm hoping to get started on this hobby later this year, you're my inspiration!

I'm a mere beginner that was taught by a friend on a well worn Raytech-Shaw that has cut pounds and pounds of tourmaline- I had no idea such a crazy cut even existed. This is really impressive work!

What a stunning piece of work. A real jaw dropper. It makes a brilliant diamond look... pedestrian.

Wow! Just WOW! Cliff this is just stunning. This diagram is going up on my list of goals to work towards. A true bucket list item. I have been leaning toward getting gem cut studio and I will for sure now. What a spectacular gem and I love the round iris. The CZ was a great material to use. Stay healthy Cliff. And thank you for posting this.

Nice work, I can imagine designing a ring around that stone.

That looks amazing! Loving your commentary and the tips. Makes me wanna start a new hobby

Thanks mesmerising and very appropriately named!! Don't know where I can get some Australian zircon cut about 8 nice pieces.

Congratulations Cliff. What a wonderful achievement. This is the most stunning cut I’ve ever seen. You’re choice of music is genius. I felt myself magically walking among the pyramids in the valley of the kings escorted by lovely belly dancers (haha).

Well done Cliff you make me want to cut again, just beautiful..

Cliff brilliant, thanks for the beautiful pics from you. More please. Where can we buy the cut stones you do. Great vids! G. UK

This is absolutely GORGEOUS, Cliff! I've actually just recently found your channel, and you alone have totally sold me on getting into gem cutting, I just had two questions. First, can you recommend any resources for the total beginner as far as reading goes - there's not really a gemcutting group in my area - so I'm not just flailing around stupidly in a few months when I get my first machine and a few dozen quartz stones to practice on? Secondly, do you smith/cast your own jewelry for the gems you make, or do you just keep them loose to appreciate the cuts you've done?

I bet in real life it looks much more impressive than in the video. You have my respect Sir Cliff.

What a beautiful piece of art and math magic, combined! So amazing and so beautiful! Thank you!

Wow, Truly a Spectacular Cut Cliff, you are obviously passionate about your work and it shows in your finished products.... well done.

Absolutely stunning.

cliff, what a fantastic job, it looks like you found the secret to the correct angles . thanks for making this video .

Well Cliff, I do believe you've outdone yourself! Kudos to you, and kudos to Bob Keller, the designer of this marvel. Seeing this getting done I can easily believe it is a rare gem, not only is it complicated as heck, oh nonono, you also have to fiddle all those facets until they work. I doff my hat for the master(s)!

Beautiful Gem, one of these days I hope I can buy the equipment and learn how to facet Gems Myself.

have 0 experience with gem cutting or polishing but even i can see why you said its a very hard design to create, that the end result is stunning, hats off to you. you are clearly very talented!

Spectacular! it is truly stunning,,,I will cut this one day.

I’ve never seen a cut like this wow

That is AMAZING!!

Awesome work mate. Congratulations. Always awesome to cross one off the list. So what's next on the cards?

Ever thought of cutting one in a medium red Cubic Zirconia?

You did really well mate One loverly stone What stone would look the best This is one brilliant gem WELL DONE YOU Stay healthy all

Now I completely understand the high price of quality cut stones. I have a greater appreciation. This is stunning. Ty for sharing.

A truly spectacular gem Cliff, material, cut and colour all. Definitely a bucket lister too those pavilion facets radiate beautifully through the table, jaw on the floor beautiful.

As usual your videos are just a dream!!! Thank you so much!!!

absolutely amazing, that what I call Beautiful. want to learn, just don't know where to start!

This is deffinitly the holy grail of gem cutting. One day... hopefully... one day. Mouth wide open as i typed this. 😮 Dreamlike cut right there. As perfect as it could get in my opinion.

Very nice stone, amazing video. Very impressed with the music, im surprised you didn't have subtitles written in hieroglyphics. I appreciate your skill and learned a bit with your comments. Thanks for the experience.

Wow đẹp quá. Tôi muốn mua 1 cái máy mài mà ở Việt Nam không có bán.

Stunning work - that gem is ablaze with fire and colour.

Fantastic,i had one cut from a some smoky quarts finished up 26 ct in was in display for 2 years at my local lap club in Brisbane. I sold it after someone made me off i couldn't refuse.

Something isn’t clear: You’re talking about a shape described by mathematical formula. By definition, guesswork, adaptability &c are moot. You’re either on, or off. There’s no “in between.”

Very informative :)

How beautiful.

Utterly beautiful. Here’s to queen Cleopatra VII, the last of the Ptolemaic dynasty. She died at 39, but her seductive beauty, intelligence and mystery lives on 2053 years later..

Well done Cliff. How many hours on this beauty?

spectacular 🤩but Oh my god ! ! With a gem color more in dark oranges/reds! we wouldn't have the Eye of Cleopatra! but the Eye of Sauron!!! the super villain of lord of the rings 😁

Why don’t we see more diamonds, rubies and sapphires cut like this in circulation?

This is your best work! Well done Cliff😄

That looks like a beautiful yellow diamond!

Sir it's just spectacular, I just want to know if I give you rough yellow sapphire, can you cut in cleopatra eyes for me ? Looking forward to hearing from you.

I know absolutely nothing about gems, or how to cut and polish them. I hit on this video by accident, and found it fascinating to watch. The final product is magnificent, even to my total ignoramus eye. But I have a question: the cutting and polishing seems to all be done using a diamond sander. However, my understanding is that even the ancient Egyptians had gem cutting and polishing capability. I also understand that diamond cutters and polishers weren't invented until about 100 years ago. So how was cutting and polishing done before the invention of diamond tools?

Very beautiful!! So whats done with it now? Is it just something you put on display cause I don't see how it can be worn anyway

Love the 1950s orientalism music production, really captures the mood of a simpler time when Hollywood starlets in their gems were more of a thing.

Absolutely stunning work mate. Well done. New subscriber ✌🏻

You sure appear to have mastered your hobby 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 beautifully done.

Fell asleep haf into the video while relaxing after work. Very relaxing and nice video. Ty mate. And the gem is beautiful

in my book the worlds most spectacular gem is a Red and blue script patteren Black Opal from Lightning Ridge.

This would be neat to make out of the glass found in the desert of Egypt. I don't remember what it called but it's a greenish color. Thanks for sharing 👍 👍.

Amazing work.

Magnificent.. I realize that the flat table is necessary to create the iris of the eye, but I would love it without the table. Then I could mount it on a horseshoe frame and hang it from a chain.

awesome great to do your cutting designs on gemstone. Done while am watching I'll become optimistic it looks like an eye of superpower electronic machines. Wowsmadewonderfulthings

your technique is impressive. you are a talented and detail-oriented professional. congratulations. I would like all my stones to be polished by you.

I’ll comment and bump a like. Here’s to your channel. First video I’ve seen of yours.

Там кто-то подглядывает

Your videos are beautiful meditations.

c'est magnifique, je suis sûr qu'en regardant bien dedans nous pourrions y voir l'avenir

Do you sell faceted stones directly? Do you sell any faceted stones that are imperfect? I am a gemmology student and love collecting unusual gemstones with unusual features.

Wow. That was utterly incredible. Thank you so much for sharing. I recently purchased an ultra tec v5 and this is no doubt something I'm striving to complete myself. You really did a superb job, the finished result is breath taking. So inspirational, so incredible.

You mention C1 being off by 3 degrees. which direction was it off? Do you share the your updated version of the cut?

everything about this gem is awesome. the cut,the color,the music,the name. If you would have made such a gem for your Queen anywhere,you would have been knighted or whatever that King/Queendom has instead. Looks like there is a sun hidden in the middle of the gem. Spectacular.

The small rant was amazing @14:48 I related to the feeling of "at a certain point you're on your own from here"

EXCELLENT CUTTING.

I don't know diddly about cutting or polishing gem stones but that was totally awesome.

absolutely fascinating - whereabouts are you located in Australia?

Stunning...I'll look often, but probably never cut🥴

Another fine design with Wing facets is the Utopia cut from Jeff Graham.

Spectacular

👌👌👌👏👏🙏👍🤝

Thank you this is a very beautiful cut.... very very impressive

I am so inspired, it takes my breath away.

That was really interesting. I enjoyed watching you work and learned a thing or two
