CROWN

Addition # 10 - This is easy to cut, but needs to be in a large size,10mm and up. The amount of Mirage reflections in this design are amazing. I designed this to be a fast way to cut large stone. This is "Not" what you think, and it can be a little harder to cut than may think. The P3 tier is a bit difficult depending on the stone size.
