RAF620HH (1940): Face up, a gem cut to this design calls to mind the spinning propeller of an airplane. The name honors the British fighters in the Battle of Britain during World War II
Article Abstract:
The design RAF620HH, which honors the 620 RAF Hawker hurricane and other pilots who overcame such great odds, uses very few meetpoints (MP) and is easier to facet than a Standard Round Brilliant (SRB), while requiring a skill level of 2 out of 5. The second step of both the pavilion and crown show only four meetpoints each.
