EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "GEM CUTTER, 1568" takes us back in time to the Renaissance era. The image showcases a skilled craftsman engrossed in his work within a medieval workshop. With intense focus and precision, the Gem Cutter delicately cuts various precious gemstones on his wheel. From vibrant garnets to dazzling rubies and diamonds, he also works with emeralds, sapphires, jacinths, chalcedony, and beryl. The woodcut by Jost Amman beautifully captures the essence of this German jeweler's artistry. As we delve deeper into the details of this artwork, we discover that the Gem Cutter not only creates exquisite jewels but also skillfully carves coats-of-arms for signet rings.

It serves as a testament to the dedication and talent required to excel in such intricate work during that period. Through its timeless appeal and historical significance, "GEM CUTTER" invites us to appreciate both the beauty of these meticulously crafted gems and the mastery behind their creation.
