Hi all,
I have asked about this on a couple of other sites and have not really got a clear answer. I hope someone hear can help.
I am trying to understand when looking at the dimensions of a coloured stone what raises a red flag to the possibility of it being cut too shallow and being windowed?
If I give an example: 8.1mm (L) x 7.5mm (W) x 4.2mm (D)
Is there some sort of ratio whereby I can see that there is a good probability that a stone is cut too shallow and best avoided? E.g should the depth be at least twice the length....That sort of equation!!!!
Many thanks
