This design is yet another attempt at making something that looks like a stained-glass window. This new design is more suitable for a pendant, and when it tilts, a window appears and really emphasizes the feel of the design. Works in materials from feldspar to YAG (RI = 1.52 - 1.83) with no changes, but I prefer it in white topaz. Suggested length = 15-30 mm
