In this video, we are looking at one of the most well known American gemstone designs and the one with the most names: the opposed bar, the Smithsonian bar, the pixel cut, the lens cut, the bar cut, the smith bar, the Minecraft cut, the creeper... the list goes on an on.

Jordan Wilkins (@jordandesigns3) joins me to help tell the story of this cut whose roots goes all the way back to the 1940's and is still popular today.
