Master Gem Cutters and enthusiasts from the Midwest Faceters Guild created designs which were published in our Guild Newsletter "The Midwest Faceter".

To find them in the database, click on the "Faceting Diagrams" button above, then click on "Search" at the top and enter "Midwest Faceter" in the Reference box. This will give results showing designs by past members of our Guild.


Many of our members still create designs, but they remain in private catalogs for now. ​
