<\/a><\/p>\nThis polishing studio has always done a beautiful job on these attractive loose pieces.<\/p>\n
The first thing I was shown upon arrival was the room of gemstones.<\/p>\n
Many kinds of gemstones, collected from all over the world, are scattered around as if in a museum,<\/p>\n I can't help but imagine what this gemstone will look like when it is cut.<\/p>\n I could spend a whole day in this space and not get bored! I enjoyed it very much!<\/p>\n Next, he demonstrated how to polish this golopy gemstone into a camelia cut.<\/p>\n After sorting through the many gemstones for size, color, etc., and finding one that looks just right, the first step is rough outlining.<\/p>\n The next moment after listening to the explanation and mmmmmm......cue ......<\/p>\n \"Eh! ......... with your bare hands? We were all already surprised!<\/p>\n While I was surprised, the contouring was completed in no time with brilliant handwork.<\/p>\n He was cutting it quickly and easily, but I think it is really very difficult to do. Kudos to the craftsman! (Crackle! Crackle!)<\/p>\n The next step is to shape the loose piece, which was roughly outlined earlier, into a standard size.<\/p>\n The loose pieces are set on a lathe-like machine, and the contours of the loose pieces, such as round or pear shape, are tightly arranged.<\/p>\n The contours are now beautifully rounded!<\/p>\n Once the contours are in place, the next step is to cut the facets.<\/p>\n The way it works is that the loose glued to the handle is shaved by placing it on a rotating disk,<\/p>\n As you can see, there are many types of tools at the end of the installation.<\/p>\n The polygonal part is set on the base to cut a certain number of facets. The polishing is done by turning the octahedron halfway around to make a hexahedron, then changing the angle to make another octahedron, and so on, while fine-tuning the handle over and over again to achieve the desired number of cuts. The process is repeated to achieve the desired number of cuts.<\/p>\n The camelia cut, which has a particularly high number of facets, is said to be cut in several stages.<\/p>\n Sigh...the craftsmanship.<\/p>\n He says that the size of the faceted surface changes depending on the degree of force, so it is necessary to polish with uniform force.<\/p>\n Just thinking about it sounds difficult, but in reality, the polishing is actually done in front of your eyes in a pleasantly rhythmic manner.<\/p>\n When we asked him about it, he told us that he has been doing this job for about 30 years.<\/p>\n It was truly a skillful job, and it was wonderful!<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
