• Started with a cube extending the length to 20 cm with the top being 4 cm and extending the sides by 4 cm both
• Used the knife tool to draw out the middle lines where the angles would meet
• Deleted the lines that I didn't need
• Selected all the lines on the outer top edge and beveled them as close as I could to the middle lines
• Connected the vertices together to make sure the line were exactly in the middle
• Colored it brown

• Imported an STL of a ruby
• Rotated it to line up with the side of the cross and placed it into the cross
• Duplicated it and lined it up on one side
• Then copied all of them and rotated them on the y-axis by 90 degrees
• Lined them up on the other side
• Selected one from each side and copied them
• Rotated them on the z-axis and rotated them by 90 degrees
• Line them up with the side part of the cross duplicated them to be placed along that part
