Great to see the "in-progress" pics! I like the layout of the potential final design! (I like the stud idea...)

Was talking about this with a couple friends on the forum...when you're going for the high point in the dome, are you aiming for the "geometric center" of the shape?

I do a similar cut. I call it a pendulum. I think studs would work best with the pair. Juicy chrysoprase, BTW.

These are going to be awesome! I think the studs with the little squares, too.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Thanks! I was thinking of calling mine the neck tie cut, pendulum sounds a lot better lol!

Hmmm..... chandelier cut would sound even better.
