[Jewelry making - Article 00106] - [Orchid] Briolette stone weight estimation

    Hi, Orchid! Does anyone know any formulae for estimating the carat
    weight of briolette cut stones? We're getting pieces in to appraise
    with briolettes, and I'm not sure how to estimate, other than
    finding similarly cut gems of the same type and weighing them... 

Thanks in advance!
