wow ! thats a great cut .. you won a competition !!! on one of your first cut"s that"s amazing !!!!! Don"t forget me when your famous !!!! btw I agree way too much on stone"s being judged by who cut them rather than the cut itself .. .. look at the fire !!!!! and colors and scintillation ... truley a nice stone !! what"s the cut ?? don"t tell me your making your own cuts already ?

Nah, not designing...yet!

USFG competitions are such that they tell you what to cut so it levels the playing field. The Australian international competition is more of a free for all....they might tell you what material or what size but you have to pick the design....harder to compare apples and oranges I would think!

rocknrob: There was a shop in Portland, don't know if it's still there called Kenny and Zukes who made the absolute best pastrami sandwiches I have ever had. The problem is every restaurant thinks their sandwich is worth $20 now and seldom makes the grade. Nov 12, 2024 9:53:31 GMT -5

rocknrob: So, to end my thread on sandwiches. If you find your sandwich worthy of that price by all means keep going to that restaurant (chewie)
