Re-polishing the Crown of a cushion Tanzanite
A jeweler brought us this Tanzanite. Their customer wanted it made to look like new again.
After years of wear, this stone was so heavily worn, I could barely see any of the original facets. But I could see just enough of them to know what type of pattern the stone originally had.
The process of re-polishing a faceted gemstone requires finding the angles and indexes for each of the facets. Once the facet is located, I polish each facet just enough to get under the scratches and/or chips.
Below, you will see photos and description of the re-polishing process.
