This design uses the same girdle outline as my "Undine's Tears" design, but with an entirely different pavilion concept. It's one of the very few pear-shaped designs available that's properly shaped, and not fat or blobby. Works in materials from beryl to high zircon (RI = 1.58 - 1.93) with no changes, but I prefer it in aquamarine. Suggested length = 8-15 mm
