[QUOTE="SneakyCuttlefish, post: 366785, member: 3340"] Thanks Heatho. Stone turned out well but it was an absolute bitch to cut. Ovals and elongated cuts are so hard to get the right girdle proportions. I normally cut the pav mains first then cut the girdles in. That way I have a bit of a guide for making the girdle facets even all around the stone. But that only really works on ovals that come to a centre point. This one comes to three separate points along the centre line so it took quite a long time of tweaking to get the meet points. [/QUOTE]
