The regular structure of Hornet's Wing Granite is the key to this Test. A single slab makes enough identical gem-like pieces to allow others to attempt your cut. Which cuts truly require the skill of a master to duplicate?

[[File:Bijou2.png]]

== Test Description ==
Build a Scholar's Gem Cutting table. Included in the costs is a piece of Hornet's Wing Granite, a stone with a most unusual property: Each slab is of a repeating crystalline structure, meaning that a single slab produces many copies of the same raw gem-like piece. Challenge others to duplicate your design.

== Task ==
Complete the Test of the Bijou by designing a cut gem that others find appropriately challenging. Each person attempting your puzzle will start with the same raw gem that you did.
* {{Awards|count=1 |reward=Talent Point |task=Cut a Queen's Tomb [[Cuttable Gems|Turquoise]]|verified=true}}
* {{Awards|count=1 |reward=Talent Point |task=Cut a Queen's Tomb [[Cuttable Gems|Amethyst]]}}
* Build a [[Scholar's Gem Cutting Table]]
* {{Awards|count=1 |reward=Talent Point |task=Design a Challenge Cut and open it for Judging}}
* Tear down your Scholar's Gem Cutting Table, OR do the following:
** Have 7 Judges solve and rate your Bijou
** Design rated Good by most judges
* All of the above, OR solve three recent winning Bijou

== Additional Information ==
The '''Test of the Bijou''' is the third [[Tests|test]] available in the discipline of [[Art]]. The Test challenges players to create a unique gem cut which other players must duplicate. Once a cut has been set as the "challenge gem", players may attempt the cut again and again, using the same flaws as the original gem. This makes a Student Gemcutting Table an excellent way to practice gem cuts without using cuttable gems.

== Passing the Principle ==
*You need to have the [[Lapidary 1]] technology to do this test.
*Build a [[Scholar's Gem Cutting Table]]. Once the table is built, design a unique gem cut (no actual cuttable gems are required).
*Either tear it down or open it for judging and have 7 judges solve and rate your Bijou.

== Notes on Bijou Table Ownership ==

[[Scholar's Gem Cutting Table]] belongs to the person that built it. They cannot be transferred. They do not have any ownership menu other than Public/Private. Public allows anyone to change your design. Make the table Private so your design is protected.

The only way to give a table to another is to [[Salvage Techniques|salvage]] the table and rebuild.

== Passing the Test ==
The top two Bijous pass each week. See [[Test Pass History]] or http://julianatdeltona.com/atitd/PassedTests.aspx
