[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 212090, member: 1916"] :lol: Thought it might have been from that way. I have a smaller banded one and was told that getting the right colour/shade at the base of the cut stone was the secret to success. Can't quite remember what was said but I got the impression that the colour put at the base of the stone would be the dominant colour but a play of colours could be won if the band what's slightly above the point but came at a risk of ruining the stone. Bottom line .... I don't have a clue and don't take my advice :D Keen to get some expert advice as well. :cool: [/QUOTE]
