Scott is renowned a replicator of famous diamonds and an Ultra Tec sales representative.  He has been featured on the Discovery and National Geographic Channels, written numerous research articles in Gems and Gemology, and his replicas are on display in many museums.  He will have his collection at the show, so if you have wanted to see what these historic diamonds actually looked like, stop by the booth and have a chat.  His historic Koh-i-Noor (the original form prior to re-cutting in 1851) and Hope replicas will be on display, and those featured on his web site, www.museumdiamonds.com , will also be available for handling.

" I JUST LOVE IT" 

Those were the words Mary Bennett used in describing her ULTRA TEC V5 experience.  Mary is hardly a "new" faceter  -- she had four years of faceting - on two other faceting machines that she owned, before she "bit the bullet" and got a an ULTRA TEC V5.
 
Now...here what she told us in an email...
 
I should have saved the money I paid for those other machines and just bit the bullet and got the V5 in the first place. The learning curve would have been so much easier! I have gone from being a so-so faceter to a fairly competent one!.
 
Your ULTRA TEC Machine is AMAZING!!
 
I tried cutting a pavilion like I had seen on YouTube - without looking.  I just cut down to the correct angle all the way around.  I figured I would have much fine tuning to do after I got around. but I just went ahead and kept on cutting. 

I was so surprised when I finished the round, and brought my visor down to view close up - Every one was almost perfect!!  It took about 5 minutes to cut. Fastest pavilion I have ever cut, and more perfect then when I inspect after each facet! Then when I cut my girdle, I did the same thing. No looking until all the way around. Only had a couple of very tiny cuts to bring the meets in.
 
This is an AMAZING machine I gotta tell you! I just love it.
