NEW ZINNIA

NEW ZINNIA

This model is based on a design developed for the size of the diamond: the Zinnia.
The original outline was replaced by an octagonal shape. Too delicate to be cut
Carefully by hand, facets starry flag, for their part
Been modified to facilitate its execution.

Plots flag give this design a good light.
The angles were changed and adapted to the size of a wider range of gems
(Garnet, sapphire, spinal, ruby ...), which have a refractive index lower than
That of diamond. They refract light in up to 84.3%.

This model includes as a main difficulty the size of facets whose height
Is not determined by the presence of the intersection (meet points faceting). This is the case
A facet whose height must match the respective third pavilion and two-thirds
The crown. Novices faceting take care to replicate this model on a stone
Low value in order to overcome the difficulties and avoid errors at least
Expensive that would be likely to occur at the waist.
