More likely than not! But truth be told none of our ramblings has anything to do with a misaligned girdle.



Except that if you preform, cut the crown first, then transfer you likely won't have a misaligned girdle that matters.

You will be doping to the flat table with a flat dop, so the girdle will not be titled for sure. Since it doesn't matter if the stone is exactly centered on the dop that won't cause issues in the unlikely event it happens. Simce the girdle is spun not faceted lines don't exist on the girdle so don't have to connect between crown and pavilion. The girdle will have the traditional umbrella shape rather than be flat.

The above is true on ant stone with a curved outline. On stones with flat sides you will have a faceted girdle, level girdle.

Yes that part, not the whole cube fiasco. My poor choice of words "none of".

I am not on an ego driven quest to prove someone wrong and myself right. Others see through this game. I am only trying to share my opinions with other members of this community in order for all of us to learn.

I am backing out of this conversation before it becomes personal.

Thanks all.


Perhaps I am the only one, but I appreciate your efforts to make your point. So one person at least learned a bit reading through all this, thank you.
