I don't know, hard to tell from your photo - I couldn't even see that the stem was facetted (though it was in your description, duh!). You say yours has a slight optic, no? I don't see any evidence of that in the Baccarat stem. I think part of the reason it's hard to compare yours is because the photo is taken close-up, so it's hard to see the whole profile. Sometimes I set my camera to take a big photo, take it from far away, and crop the excess to avoid such problems of perspective. Then you still get good resolution and a decent size photo.
