    Fine Cut = Precision cut or visually imitates a precision cut. These stones have equal and symmetrical faceting with proper cutting angles ("critical angle') and depth.
    Depth is between 60% and 70% of size listed. Size can vary +-0.1mm. 2-3mm (millimeter) gems are very small - less than 1/8 inch.
    AA+ (unless noted) = face up eye clean, any inclusions will not be visible to the eye when set
    A+ = Inclusions are easily detected by the eye, but they don't detract significantly from the beauty of the stone
    Keep in mind that you are seeing much more in the photo than you can see with the naked eye, most times over 20x magnification. Dust, fingerprints and flash reflections are exaggerated in photographs. Smaller sizes will have progressively less color saturation than photo.
