A very speedy video of the gem bead cutting process I filmed during my last trip to China. 💎😁 It’s surprising how much time and effort goes into cutting these tiny little beads (which sometimes have accidentally dropped on the floor never to be seen again…nope, no one else has done that 😳) This process includes working from the rough gemstone, stabilising it then cutting the gems into small pieces. There they are machine cut and then polished. If they aren’t round they are put back in to the

This massive gem was cut from a 744 carat piece of rough morganite from Mozambique. It’s not only the largest morganite that Steve has cut, it’s also the largest cut morganite we’ve ever seen!
