A friend came with a request for a B-day gemstone so if anyone has some time and wouldn't mind shooting a few suggestions my way it would be much appreciated
......
"I'd love to get a ring made that could be worn as a left hand ring / engagement style ring.
I want an antique cushion cut with a high crown and large culet.
(I asked why a large cutlet and she said....."I want an antique cut with the large chunky facets. I want the Maltese cross effect that the culet will cause in the right light , as well.")
It needs to be budget friendly. About $500.
It would need to be strong enough, and a color that would show off the cut. Close to 3 carats.
Do you know anyone I might approach? "
You know this would be a specialty cut so that $500 limit means cutting cost and gem material.(I am double checking to make sure that is for the stone itself and doesn't include the ring, metal, setting, etc.)
Thoughts, ideas, query's?
