Learn to Facet (cut) Gems - Lesson 1 - Dopping the Stone and Preforming

Welcome! In this episode you'll see how to select some rough, dopp the rough using high temperature wax, and make a cylindrical preform. This will set you up to cut a standard round brilliant, which we do in the next lesson. Enjoy!
