About this pattern

Three cut gemstones in a row, seen from the side: a red ruby, a blue sapphire and a green emerald. All three are the same cut and the same size, with a flat top, a wide middle and a point at the bottom. Each has a white facet at its upper left, its palest shade across the top and down the lower left, a middle shade in the center of the lower half and its darkest shade down the right side. The stones stand apart and do not touch. Dark brown outline. Full crosses only. It is 61 by 15 stitches and uses eleven thread colors.

61 stitches wide by 15 high: 495 full cross stitches in 11 DMC colors (Ultra Dark Coffee Brown 938, Medium Melon 3706, Forest Green 989 and 8 more).
