Hi Everyone:

    I am new to this forum, and so will tell a bit about myself and my
    interests. I have been faceting colored stones for over thirty-five
    years, and have achieved great success in entering faceting
    competitions on a Nationwide and International level. 

    I often wondered how the early faceters were able to fashion
    diamonds and facet colored stones. What kind of equipment did they
    have centuries ago? What methods did they use to achieve success?
    They surely did not have electricity available to simplify their
    work. 

    Three years ago I stopped faceting gemstones and started my research
    into learning the answers to my questions. I have just completed a
    book called, FACETING HISTORY: CUTTING DIAMONDS & COLORED STONES.
    This is a book that will be interesting and informative for all
    faceters. The book is also very valuable to the owner of any jewelry
    store and the sales force working the counter in the store. If read
    and re-read from time to time, the salesperson will have valuable
    information that he/she can use to more easily make a gemstone sale.
    The salesperson will sound more knowledgeable to the customer. My
    book should become popular for being in every personal library,
    where it can inform, entertain, and help with making sales. 

    Check my web site below for more information if my book is of
    interest to you. 

    In viewing my website, you will see that I have been deeply
    interested in other areas: such as, flying...gaining a commercial
    pilots license with flight instructor and instrument ratings,
    photography, woodworking, ham radio, obtaining a Graduate Gemologist
    diploma at GIA, and operating a retail interior decoration shop for
    many years. 

Thanks for reading.
