The model

What you're downloading

  • Stone: a 6.5 mm round brilliant (about 1.02 ct), seated in the head.
  • Prongs: four, 1.0 mm thick, notched to the girdle, their tips beaded over the crown, joined by two rails under the stone.
  • Seat: a 2.7 mm tube, 1.2 mm tall, with a flat bottom to solder onto a shank or a pendant.
  • Files: built in your browser when you click, exactly as you set it. STL, 3DM and OBJ are in millimetres (STL and 3DM Z-up); GLB is in metres, as the format requires.
