Welcome to Diamond Cutting Book
The Author
In the early 1970s, Basil Watermeyer created a revolution in the diamond cutting and faceting industry. This came about through what he described as a "lucky accident" while experimenting with the newly introduced Princess Cut. The outcome was an improved Princess Cut that gave the diamond greater brilliance. This became the famous "Barion Cut", derived from his own name (Basil) and his wife's name (Marion).
Several years later Basil Watermeyer wrote the first edition of Diamond Cutting, described by some very prominent members of the industry as the most important text ever written on this topic. Since then, Diamond Cutting has gone through several editions, resulting in the 6th and final edition in 2006.
The Book
The book is a true gem for anyone who is interested in learning about diamond cutting and faceting. It also has proven value to those wishing to facet other materials ranging from lab-made cubic zirconia to a variety of semi-precious stones. Its practical down-to-earth approach has effectively made it the textbook for both professionals and amateurs alike.
Diamond Cutting by Basil Watermeyer 6 Edition is available in a very limited number of new (old stock) copies. Each copy is signed by the author.
