[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 404793, member: 2976"] Marco Voltilini's "Fiorino 80" in Lowmead Rose-de-France amethyst. 4.35 carat. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/2976/1523731213_30708711_10155472407990959_8395067407474884608_n.jpg[/img] [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/2976/1523731251_30715836_10155472407900959_3653026666302668800_n.jpg[/img] Other designs I have cut that have pictures in them have tended to have the entire pavilion below critical, resulting in a design that often very interesting but lacks the sparkle we expect from a faceted gem. In this design, only the facets that make up the flower petals (frosted), flower centre and the facets immediately surrounding the flower motif are below the critical angle. The rest of the pavilion is above critical which creates a halo of sparkle around the picture. [/QUOTE]
