    As a cabber, I have another question. Are there descriptive terms
    that everyone (jewelers and cabbers) can use to describe what style
    of cut they want on a cab? What is the bezel slant part called? What
    percent of the height of a cab is this to thickness of the cab? If
    the part of the cab above the bezel line is more than 50% of the
    cab, would this be considered a "high dome" cab? Is a "buff top" cab
    a cab with fairly straight sides with almost no dome (fairly flat
    top)? Can we come to some descriptive words to use so the cabber and
    jeweler can communicate? 

    Maybe some pictures on a web site we could all go to for an actual
    visual definition. 

    Larry A cabber who would like to cab what others would like to set.
