Built in a working shop
Facetz started at Nino’s cutting bench. Spreadsheets couldn’t follow a kilo of turquoise through cutting, shaping and polishing, so we built the system that could — and ran the shop on it.
We cut turquoise, opal and lapis. I always knew what a parcel cost me — never what a finished cabochon did. Now every stone is priced from what it really cost: rough, labor and loss.
