This design was a combination of the idea of rice paddies, and the Japanese character for rice fields. The crown outline looks like a perfect combination of both, and the reflection pattern has a nice amount of contrast. Works in materials from feldspar to rutile (RI = 1.52 - 2.62) with no changes, but I prefer green tourmaline. Suggested size = 8-15 mm
