Ever miss a connection at an airport? Well, that's the inspiration for this design - I've missed two flights on this recent trip to Japan. Notice how the C3-C4 meet isn't actually used for anything? That's entirely intentional. Works in materials from quartz to rutile (RI = 1.54 - 2.62) with no changes, but I prefer pale tanzanite. Suggested size = 6-12 mm
