My new “hope Diamond” Malaya garnet!

[Mjay]

Sharing my new “hope diamond” Malaya garnet cut by Michael Holmes (IG Breakfacets). The color is stunning and the cut is so charming! I absolutely love it.

Here are Michael’s IG videos of the stone! His first video shows the whole process from rough to completion! It’s so cool to watch.

Here’s my video! The weather is pretty icky today but it still looks beautiful.

I plan to set this in a matte finish pendant. My inspiration is Victor Barbones lulu pendant. As per usual, I’m still undecided on metal color. I’m hoping to get more play time once my children allow

Beautiful! I love seeing old cuts on colored stones.

I like that he chose to add a big ol' unabashed culet to this interesting cut. It's beautimous, Mjay... enjoy!!

Very cool melding of a precision and antique cutting! I love seeing new styles emerge!
