In this video, I take you on adventure through the mountains of French Jura. We visit many small villages that were once gemcutting hubs for France and the world.

Thanks for preserving and sharing this interesting bit of history!

I had no idea about the gem cutting that happened in France. This was educational, Justin. Thank you!

Thank you for such a nice video about the history of lapidary. I wish I would visit those places. Regards from Istanbul

It's hard to imagine kids in still in school polishing faceted stones today. I did see a video about a professional 12 year old American lapidary. Such a rare thing to see, people so young yet so compelled to become experts in a specialty field.

@JustinKPrim Год назад

My wife started her Gemcutting apprenticeship when she was 14. I’m quite jealous as no similar opportunity was ever presented to me as a kid.

@DonariaRegia Год назад

@@JustinKPrim Victorian's advanced cutting skill is a sight to see. Working on the Swiss machine isn't something American cutters are really familiar with. Maybe you two can do a dual demonstration video? One with both of you cutting the same design with a back-and-forth between the Sterling and Bunter. A pair made for earrings could be the theme.

@JustinKPrim Год назад

@@DonariaRegia that could be fun. Let’s see if we can find the time.

thanks

Was there ever a symbol for a lapidary house. Like barber shops do or was it just known that it was a cutting house

@JustinKPrim Год назад

I never heard about a symbol. I think people in the business just knew.

@Moh.gemcutter Год назад

hello Justin, your video is awesome. I need your help. What's the best gem cut app for mac.Thank you.

@JustinKPrim Год назад

There is only one for Mac so it's an easy choice. Gem Cut Studio. Its great. I use it all the time

@Moh.gemcutter Год назад

@@JustinKPrim I thought there was something else. Thank you so much Justin.

@JustinKPrim Год назад

@@Moh.gemcutter there’s also GemCad But it’s only for windows and I don’t find it to be very nice to use at all.

Thank you for that lovely walk through history and it's informative look at the history of gem cutting in the Jura Mountains. So much history and through so many years. It's just amazing. To understand what these people had to learn and work with and to know just how successful they became is amazing. Thank you for this wonderful look at an important place in the history of gem cutting.
