The WorkshopThe session
The day after the Conference, two of the world's foremost gem cutting masters stepped out of the lecture hall and into an intimate room with a small group of participants. This was not a presentation — it was a working session.
Victor Tuzlukov — a multiple Guinness World Record holder — and Justin K. Prim — gem cutter, author, and educator — brought together two distinct but deeply complementary perspectives on the craft that defines the value of every gemstone on the planet.
For Sri Lanka, where extraordinary rough stones are sourced every day, mastering the next step in that chain is a defining opportunity for the industry's future.
