I am a first-time gem buyer, and I find the jargon a little forbidding. Table, antique, cabochon, trilliant, etc. I have guessed at the meaning of a few of these, but I don't want to spend good money based on my guesses and a web picture or two.
Does anyone have a good reference for a list of such terms, so I can decide what they mean? In particular, right now I'm looking for stones carved fairly flat so a setting wouldn't have to be too thick.
Thanks for any help!
