L/W = 1.000 T/W = 0.561 T/L = 0.561
P/W = 0.513 C/W = 0.174
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.707

Addition # 4 - This will work in R.I. 1.56-1.76 with no changes, I designed it for smaller stones, that is why the Pavilion is so simple. Works well in about any material, I use it for earrings, 1/2ct to 4cts. This works in Tourmaline and Topaz.
