Where melee quality shows
In pave, halo and tennis work every stone is visible, so a mixed parcel shows. We calibrate each parcel to the diameter range you specify and state grades and cut so the setting performs evenly across the piece.
Send the diameter in mm, the quantity and the setting. The Side Stone Finder gives a starting size and count from the centre stone.
