That’s very cool. Do you ever cut the gems to the patterns i. The CAD drawings?  And how is that done? 
 @05ad22c7 Very often. Most of the videos you can find in my feed show the result of a diagram. The CAD printout itself functions as manual operator instructions for a generic faceting machine.

Here is one from a few months ago. It’s my take on the Crisantemo cut by Marco Voltolini. It uses some of the culet and frosted facet tricks I picked up studying Vietnamese cutter Phan Thanh Trung.

Wow. That’s amazing. That’s quite the talent.
