Gram Book 1 - This design is not easy, watch the P7-13 they can be a little tricky. They also could be cut in a different order if you want. P13 can be omitted on a small stone. The crown is mostly steps and they can be varied, but the table & C8 may need to be adjusted,1-14cts. This works in Sapphire and YAG.
