Addition #13 - Domes Money Cuts
![]()
In this addition set I have created some unique designs and new approaches to working with high perforce brilliant designs.
I call these "Dome Cuts"
The term "Dome" in these designs refers to the dome shaped crowns. These are all not typical designs as you will see and I really created them specifically for nodule/round shaped rough.
In particular I designed a lot of these for Afghanistan nodule Tourmaline which is often very round and light in saturation. As you can see the pavilions are mostly very simple and are basically reflectors. The crowns tend to be what I would call splitters or patterns which create very interesting stones. The main attributes I wanted in these designs is depth to help increase color, domes to increase the yields of nodular rough, and glitter and appearance. The curved domes not only do all of these things but they also create nice profiles and and a 3rd dimension when the stones are finished.
The majority of these designs can be cut in Refractive index 1.54 to 2.14 with NO CHANGES or tangent ratio adjusting. The designs in this addition have all been ray traced and proofed.
"Domes - Addition # 13 " (42 designs) with all of the above is $17.95. I ship U.S. Priority Mail (about $3.50 USA only). The shipping usually takes 2-5 days depending on where.
