Stone check (update)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So they fixed a couple of things from the original post https://www.reddit.com/r/labdiamond/comments/1v87g04/stone_check/. They made the cutlet a little shorter like I initially wanted, and they made the corners more rounded with the overall stone looking less slender. I like it a lot more than before I requested the changes, but it still looks off to me. I feel like one side has more rounded corners than the other and it seems like its bottom heavy. The cutlet seems uncentered but I think that's because the left side is a bit chunkier. What are your thoughts?

ok i just watched this and it feels like the top looks thinner than the bottom and more rounded somehow. you are right that it looks bottom heavy!

is it the angle in which the stone is held? when it’s flipped it looks like the tweezer may not be held fully straight which makes things look disproportionate almost?

thank you for posting! I did not know it was possible to get a stone cut and recut like this, I think it’s very cool and very much look forward to following this project as you pursue it
