"Stone table looks like criss-cross cut, it's not. Flat table, but generous bezel area with nice kite cuts,etc. almost makes up for it. Excellent cut brings out LOTS of sparkle & maximizes the color. Color is typical baby blue, no green-blue & is paler than picture. All the stones I've ever gotten from JTV online or on TV look bluer than they are. When I got over not getting what I thought I was, I realized I LOVE the stones. Definately keeping them, GREAT PRICE, too."
