My brother what would you do if the precious stone has a defect or it broke? If that broke on me I dont know what I would do. Probably have an aneurism+heart attack and then find the person that sold it to me and send him to jesus.

I would likely accept a return on a stone that broke due to defect or fracture plane in the stone. I haven't had anyone tell me that they have broken one of my stones yet.@@Nw-zh1uq

@@MattsCornerofGemCutting Sorry I was not clear enough. I meant what would you do if the uncut stone the one you bought broke while you where trying to refine it. Not the ones you already refined.

@@Nw-zh1uq I try to purchase most of my rough in person to evaluate it myself and avoid buying rough that I think will fall apart. Sometimes I have to change up the cut mid cut if something happens. Recently I was cutting a sapphire in a hexagon cut that had a bad fractural flaw near one of the points that I worried would cause the point to break off easily. I had cut in some of the pavilion facets and the girdle at that point. I stopped and redesigned the cut to cut out that point and the opposite one. The finished cut was a slightly cushioned rectangle instead. Let's say I was cutting this design in the topaz and I dropped it while cutting it and and one of the sharp tips broke off. I would have to change the design into a cut cornered triangle to accommodate for the breakage. If it happened to break in half, I would determine if the pieces were big enough to be cut into individual stones. If not, I would set them aside and move on with a different stone and not think too much about it. Most of the time, a stone can still be salvaged from a break during the cut. I really don't have much issue with stones unless they already had some bad fractures in the rough before cutting.

@@MattsCornerofGemCutting That is very good to hear. The fact that they are salvagable most of the time is great. Thank you for the sincere answer and the valuable information. May you keep prospering both in wealth and in health.

You know that the Nintendo generation is all grown up when professionals start integrating it into their work!

I did a double take when I heard "legend of Zelda"... That is some POWERFUL alpha nerd stuff right there and I am here for it.

No clue why KZread recommended this, but holy.... it's beautiful! I guess I'm now into gem cutting 🤷‍♂️

Yep, I'm in the same boat. Didn't know that gems had to be cut yesterday... now I know where to buy the equipment. All that's left is to convince the wife.

Seriously, this is awesome! I am speechless. I want one of those.

It's looking unreal. Fantastic design

The final cut is beautiful. Its an impressive design, especially for how simple it seems to be. The light really pops in a way that only the good ones do.

As a huge Zela fan. I love the combo of the shield and the triforce design especially!

As a november kid who insisted on blue topaz over citrine and loves Zelda... I'm obsessed!

If you sell that some gamer will be ecstatic with that. Well done!

This design is something else.. I love the way this one turned out

I really love this gem. It came out perfect. Great job

I enjoy your videos as a jeweler with over 40 years experience you do very good work.

Gorgeous design on a gorgeous stone.

That looks incredible! It's so crazy that you do this all by hand and just eyeing it!

Beautiful and a big improvement over the original. Thanks for adding some of the steps other gem cutters edit out of their videos.

I cut a sapphire in a very similar trilium design and color. Mounted in a white gold pendant design it is quite stunning as well. If i remember it was 3.4 ct.

Always love seeing people use their skills to make something of their own design!

It came out beautiful. 🙂

It looks like a bougainvillea! So pretty!

Beautiful design and wonderful result! And I liked the explanations you gave, too. About thecstone, and the contrast of Topas. It is realy a beautiful thing!

I already liked you but now that you're doing something Zelda-themed, I love you. :-) Very cool!

Awesome cut that really came out beautifully

another gorgeous stone and a really cool cut! thanks as always for sharing

Stunning cut! Very inspirational man, what a beautiful stone that has ended up.

beautiful work and very reminiscant of the Zelda shield.

I like this design. From the bottom it looks like a cube, viewing from it's corner. From the top it almost looks like an an infinite number of smaller and smaller triangles, disappearing into the horizon at the edge.

Dazzling. A really gorgeous cut

That came out awesome! Great work!!!

Anyone else looking at this like, take my money. Huge oot fan, that is just stunning

Very beautiful, stoned and cut idea You definitely a master in your craft.

It looks good I was a little worried 10:26 cause it didn’t look the greatest but I guess that’s cause it was on that stick. The final stone looks awesome. Good job

Even just looking at the thumbnail I was like oh nice a Triforce jewel, great work!

i love the design, and i really like the idea of salvaging old gems to turn into new things. that's pretty clever

Beautiful cut, amazing that a game gave you the inspiration for this.

Your design is gorgeous! My daughter is still huge into playing Zelda. 😂

Just gorgeous!

Absolutely stunning result 👏 👌 👍 😮 stone has so much more glimmer and pizzazz 🤩

Would be nice to make another of these but in yellow topaz for that golden Triforce look.

absolutely incredible design. well done!

What a great craft!

This overall shape is breathtaking. I very much liked it before the triforce pattern, but both ways, seriously beautiful! Well done!

I absolutely love the fact your inspiration was Zelda. Your gems are gorgeous and I thank the YT algorithm gods that brought your channel to my attention

gorgeous cut!

Gorgeous! Well done! ❤❤❤

getting recommened this video and just seeing the thumbnail immediately made me think of "legend of zelda" vibes, and to hear you say that in the video made me absolutely want one of these things one day, being able to make your own designs must be so much fun to do, especially for themed pieces such as this!

That looks beautiful

Love the cut

To find your own Cut's, very artistic and exiting indeed! Truly, I find that like the work of a sculptor! And Oh my Gosh, what a Beauty you created here! Hypnotizing cut! Fascinating to me is the fact that this stone (I might be wrong and probably am), has 10 facets on top, a turtle (also faceted?) but the 'Sparkleresult' is like it would have hundreds of facets. I live in Quebec, but next summer will visit my son in Utah SLC, and I would love to bring you 2 Stones to be recut. A Golden coloured Topaz who shows signs of being worn, and another Stone I do not know what it is, only that it belonged to my Grandfather and has white, red and green colors opposite one of another (sorry it's a bit difficult to describe). Thank you so much for all your Videos!

Gorgeous stone!

Awesome cut!

Very cool, love it

Beautiful!!!

Shield of the Tri-Force! In Blue Topaz!!

That came out looking amazing! You are a gem artist for sure, and it is an art. A very skilled art especially when you are creating your own designs and not copying a basic cut. But I do gotta say, I did shed a tear for how much stone you lost in that cut. Seeing the end result was worth it, now if you could find a bigger stone and make a bigger one!😂

That looks so dope!
