Review: A must-have book for any faceter - This is an incredibly thorough, thoughtful , and useful treatise on many facets ;-D of gemcutting. Highly readable and very punny. A great book for newbies and experienced cutters looking to expand their skills and knowledge. Order the 2nd book as well and keep them handy! Helped me as a newb troubleshoot hidden inclusions, etc. to cut great gems.
Review: Great intro to faceting - A fantastic primer to the world of faceting. Takes a lot of the mystery out of the whole process. The book is an absolute bargain compared to about everything else needed to get into faceting stones. Its very well written - very informative, but best of all - its not a dry textbook - its candid and entertaining. Highest recommendation for beginners (like me). Buy/read this book before you spend money buying a faceting machine or any of the other items which you need to get started.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big book with a lot of info
*by A***S on August 14, 2025*

This is a great book. I will admit however Gem 101 is not the easiest gem in the world and I would recommend a gem with either just 1 tier of Pavilion facets or one that is not just 1 degree off from the other facets.
