4 Way Stop by Jeff R. Graham
4 Way Stop - Cutting Remarks
This is a fun one to cut, but it is a little harder than it looks. The straight meets on the crown can be tough to get lined up. This is a good design to cut a large stone in, with the small facets on the crown it pretty much needs to be large. A medium to light saturated material is best and this will work well in, Quartz, Topaz, man-made Sapphire, Spinel, YAG, and CZ with no changes.
Enjoy cutting your "4 Way Stop"… Drop me an email to let me know your results and what you've cut, or feel free to inquire if you have any questions or need some help regarding this design.
