Thank you Leonid,

    I find it fascinating how we all approach design from different
    angles. You are clearly a gemologist and design from that
    perspective, and I would imagine that the metallurgists of the group
    may approach design from a different angle.

    Doh, I just made my dad some rectangular cufflinks! :-)
