<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 443745, member: 5833"]In person it's actually more conspicuous in the 10 - 12 o'clock area, where the edge of the cameo is higher than the edge of the bezel, but you can see it a bit also in the area you point out. It doesn't taper down to a very thin edge, which is more common. By 'squared off' I mean that the edges are perpendicular to the table, as you would generally see in a molded piece. The cameo is held securely, but mount is not customized to it; at 10 - 12 cameo doesn't sit down all the way & cannot be pushed back. It's as though the bezel is just a tad too small, so cameo has to sit at a slight angle. Possible the squaring off is from grinding down to size.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
