I attempt to accurately represent and describe cut stones and rough
as to appearance, size, origin and fully disclose any known
treatments in its description. Because you view the images on a
different monitor with different settings, color is particularly fickle
to represent, but I do my best.

Cutting Remarks - The only real difficulty in cutting this design is making sure you get the spiral set correctly for the
crown. Cutting C4 and C5 is like cutting another girdle set. You can go round from any starting point, and alternate between
the tiers, or you can guestimate the C4 sets and then fill in C5. These angles work without changes from R.I. of 1.59 to 2.17.
I also have a set of angles optimized for high zircon. If you're interested, drop me a line.
