Picturesque cuts

Back to Index of Topical cuts

Cuts designed with a picture.
Except for the potential in every gem design with an asterisk on the pavilion for frosting a star or any checkered crown to have frosted initials there are many designs around with a picture incorporated.
On facetdiagrams.org is 300+ diagrams with name containg "Star" and almost 20 with "Snow".
