Diamond / Gemstone model

[crolfe]

Hi,


I need to design a piece of jewellery and wondered if you can help.


Does anyone have or know were i can get a model of a diamond, or failing that the easiest way to create one.


Ideally i am looking for one which is 0.5CT in size, but i can always scale if not.


Any help on this will be appriciated


Thanks,


Craig

if you tell me of the geometry of a diamond then i can make the model for you

apparently diamonds have HEaps of facelets as my girlfriends tells me constantly

Also depends on the type of "cut" that your after



baggets? emerald cut? princess cut ? the most common being brilliant cut.

Hi,


Many thanks for the swift response.


I am after a brilliant cut of 0.5CT, to aid the design of a engagement ring for my partner.


I am lead to believe that the Dia is 5.2mm and the other sized are ratio'ed as in the graphic.

but its a good for representations

it. this was quick n nasty.
