Long Diamond design Facet Talk 247

    I'm wanting to cut the design Long Diamond by Ian Baxter and adjusted by Henk Prins, however in the diagram there is a reference to facet "B" on the crown but there is no index or angle listed as "B".

    Can someone please provide the information for facet "B" so that I may be able to enter it in GCS and cut the gem?  I'm cutting the stone for a men's ring as an anniversary gift that is fast approaching.

    Thanks in advance

    G'day Glenn, try cutting that corner facet at the same angle as the long facet A. It doesn't make much of a change to the overall design, just levels out the girdle. I've done a GemCad drawing for you with facet B labelled and a slight change to the cutting sequence.

    Its in pdf as Gem file won't attach.

    Cheers 

    Paul

    Thanks so much Paul, I really appreciate it.  Hope to try to post a photo of the completed project if I can get a good shot.
