I have a very small question to ask, as I otherwise love this write up.
In the real world (and not saying this should apply to aelyria), isn't there a much bigger separation between those who prepare stones, and those who 'make jewelry' ? I had always imagined gem cutting and jewellery making to be two different crafts, requiring very different skills. Or is that just a manifestation of the modern 'workline' way of thinking?
(Although obviously polishing using tumbling is possible for just about anyone with access to a wide range of sands, and the ability to turn the tumbler relentlessly for long enough.)
