Megan D on Nostr: March is the perfect month to cut my first #aquamarine and this one turned out really ...
March is the perfect month to cut my first #aquamarine and this one turned out really neat! I added frosted facets to the edges on the pavilion (aka bottom of stone, see third pic) to create the snowflake-like appearance when seen from the top. This is probably my first stone that is better shown with still photos instead of a video.
5.940 ct, 10.78mm
Design is Sparkle Six by Wayne Emery (with added frosted facets)
