Gem Cutting – Lapidary

By 1a2b | January 14, 2012


A lapidary is an expert on precious stones and the art of cutting, shaping, faceting, polishing and carving them. Experienced lapidaries are able to cut a stone so skilfully that even the dullest stone can sparkle with life. As well as cutting and shaping new gemstones, lapidaries can magically revive damaged and scuffed stones. Visit Holts for a tour in our lapidary, and see our experienced lapidaries hard at work.

    Don’t pronounce ‘objects’ as ‘ob-jyaaz’, how utterly pretentious!
