Engravers and stone setters who have enough experience know that any geometric design requires a higher level of accuracy than most other applications. With scrolls and scenes that flow with a more "artistic" quality, the elements can be put together any number of way as long as the design is pleasing.

However, the human eye can detect even the slightest inaccuracy in a geometric design. Creating a grid of parallel lines or a repetitive pattern can be intimidating for many artists because of our ability to detect such minor problems.

This grid of 2mm stones makes for great practice in developing consistency and accuracy in layout and execution. Consider practice projects like this to increase your skills. Even if you've been engraving or stone setting for a long time, fundamentals like cutting grids, repeating patterns, and parallel lines can only help to continue advancing your skills.
