The Crystal Saver is a four-inch file that is round on one side and flat on the other, with genuine diamond, nature’s most perfect cutting element, permanently bonded to both sides.   Thousands of micron-sized diamonds work in unison to rapidly smooth damaged areas with each pass of the file.

“Crystal usually carries some sentimental value,” said Mark Brandon, President of Diamond Machining Technology.   “Whether it is a wedding present or a family heirloom, when crystal gets damaged it is always upsetting.    Our Crystal Saver sharpener is designed to remove any imperfections and flaws that come over time.   It is a simple way to keep your crystal looking great.”

The Crystal Saver is easy to use and works quickly.   Simply moisten the file with a few drops of water and then rub gently over the sharp edges of the chipped area.   The rounded side of the file smoothes curved edges; the flat side smoothes sharp corners.   Only a few light strokes are needed.   The diamond file works equally well on ceramics and craft projects, such as jewelry making, lapidary and stained glass.

The Crystal Saver is available from cutlery and gourmet specialty stores.   It is also featured in Martha Stewart’s catalogs and website.
