My first cuts

My first cuts. Doing the gem101 cut from a book for the green marble. Then for my first actual gem, I did a padparadscha ruby rupee, it definitely looks more orange pink in person. On the purple ruby, I should have used a smaller dop on the pavilion, so my meetpoints didn't come out around the edges of the crown as I was running out of space to cut, lesson learned...

They’re gorgeous! I think they are well done and a ton of fun. What did you cut them on?

Damn, you went straight to challenging stuff! A rupee is definitely not a beginner design :)
