[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 508961, member: 10304"] Yes goldinbrisbane I have only been cutting since 2018, but some can take to a craft like a duck to water, I'll let others judge my work including respected members here and in the AFG. I set myself high standards, always have done as I want clients to come back. There are some exceptional cutters on this forum. Being a 'professional gem cutter' means nothing as there are two levels, commercial cutters that can cut a lot of stones in a short amount of time, but don't worry about accurate meets as they won't be noticed by the average punter, and precision cutters who cut the top end stones. Both cut for a living, a commercial cutter knows a lot of jewelers don't scrutinize a gem under a 10x Belomo, because the buyers don't either, all the want is blingy little stones, apart from the fact that a 1ct gem it too small to pick faults on, whereas on a big gem missed meets, wrong angles, poor polish etc can scream at you. The difference... cutters on this forum will probably be happy to give a client a 10X Belomo as they are proud to be precision cutters, and if you want precision your going to have to pay for that level of skill.
