How It's Made - Gemstones

So that’s artificial

hello SU fans of the past, present, and future

So all these semi precious stones are like 40% resin. Damn.

That ring is perfect for any middle aged white woman over 55.

Gem stones are not made. Dumm Ass.

Her fingers is only few millimetres from sanding machine... 🙄

This sure is a lot of effort to make something so aesthetically displeasing

This is so cottagecore

Fyi....that's not a drill.

Such an ugly ring, oversized too.

Type your fav gem in meh comment mine is spinel

Mother of pearl is also known as nacre

My toilet is made out of pure American Johnstonite

Wait. This isn't Huggbees at all.

And one day soon the glue gives out and the stone falls out never to be seen again.

been an amature jeweler (just using things I find) for years and I never had the thought to use a vacuum to pull resin into a more porous stone before. Wonder how well using colored resins for effect would work.

Yo, I they definitely have had some table saw accidents in that industry. Thumbs gotta be everywhere on that production floor.

I gave up counting the amount of bad workplace practices. You must have tried hard to find the worst workshop to visit 😆

My dad couldn't stfu about ring stone

My brother did something like this. Turns out gemstones are cheap, and so are sockets, and since he made them himself it was a better gift, and he could offer Fat gems to people he liked!

She doesn't "sodder" anything, she's British ...so she SOLDERS it!

When i clicked on a gemstone channel i expected maybe rubies or emeralds, not some ugly rock nobody wants

i dont miss tv

everyones talking bout that pun, but no ones talking about my homie getting real close to that diamond tipped sawblade.

What amazes me is how they figured out they had to cook it for two weeks at 80 degrees then put it in a vacuum oven for 12 hours with resin on it before they could even work it.

they forgot to mention the last part where it ends up at value village

the way she pronounces "artisans" as "artis-ANs"

All of that to make an ugly-ass piece of costume jewelry.

Artificially constructed gemstones also come from natural, just in a more roundabout way! Nature made us such very smart apes!

People fretting about fingers near the sawblade - lapidary blades for this purpose are blunt without sawing teeth because serrations can shatter a stone. The worst it does to fingers/nails is some sanding. You can lightly hold your fingertip perpendicular to the spinning blade without injury, but it is uncomfortable. Don't try it ofc.

I've slipped a few times and gotten some decent scratches to my nails and some callus removal, but nothing major or icky. When I was timid and new to lapidary, I reflexively flinched when my finger brushed the saw blade; the stone came loose, shattered a bit, and a fragment nicked the side of my finger. I then recoiled and wacked my hand on the light, and got another cut from the metal lampshade. Lapidary - not without risks, but it's more about the high rpm than the blade itself.

240 million years huh??? how do you get that out of a planet that is only 6,000 years old??? Do your Math and read the Bible! It proves all this evolution and million/billion years is nothing but lies and garbage and crap from Satan!

And another jewelry tv creation.

Gemstones, Flinstones, you can say I'm friends with Fred.

Blu John ......Cause he needed the money Oh!

I didn't realize until this video that the canyon Aaron Ralston got stuck in was named after a type of rock, not some sad guy named John

All of that for an ugly ring.

Most jewelry is ugly.. but dayam.. does this stuff take the cake.. and maybe the bakery too..

Amazing!!!

BLOO-JAWN.

Thank - you.

Awesome video

Oh this is hilarious... actually having read the comment section it's scary... you have some really dumb people following you.

I’m from that part of the world. Been down the mine several times, and have a collection of Blue John jewellery. It’s a beautiful part of the Peak District.

I wonder how many workers they get through a month as they are using diamond cutters and sanders with no protection!!? 😮

What episode??
