Colored gem beauties (lab-created)

Ok, since I'm color incompetent, can someone help compare this blue that I want (from MSOPs stone) to this color chart I got from a Chinese vendor?

I think 113???

Probably depends on how big the stones in their photo are! If they’re tiny, 113 would be way to dark for a ring-size stone. Do they only sell cut pieces?

hmm, no idea how big they are. Do you mean if the stones in the pic are tiny then they would look darker once larger?
 
113 immediately stood out to me too. But I’m only good at matching paint colors to decor, so take what I say with a grain of salt :lol:
 
I really like working with Bryce, so I'd honestly rather find some rough and have him cut it. But that might prove harder than I was hoping!
You mght also reach out to
http://www.gemcutter.com/syn-ruf.htm
And see if they have any 114.
I’m not sure how responsive they are to email, but I think may answer the phone (I know, I know, the website...)

I tried reaching out but they sent me a very confusing email response . I reached out again yesterday
 
I call it as #113BIS. ;))
Yeah, I might have them cut me 1 stone of each 113, 113BIS, 114. their prices are cheap, so it's not horrible to get one of each and make sure I know what color it is.

Where do you see their prices for cut stones?
 
Ps. It's amazing how much color changes once stones are cut. Here is a pic of the rough they sent IMG-20190326-WA0006.jpg IMG-20190326-WA0004.jpg

And here's 114 in different lighting (looks so different from the chart)

This is a Chinese vendor I am chatting with on WhatsApp who gets rough from Djeva. But they don't want to sell rough, only cut.
 
Arg - I want rought!!
Lol me too! Bc I want to hoard it and have many stones cut since I've been looking for this GD color for months!
 
I don't know is this will help anyone, but Peter Torrraca was able to find my rough... I specifically wanted it to glow with subtle teal flashes. From those listed above, #112 (in round cut) or #113 (in step cut) seems to be the closest.

Here's the only other photo I have from him:

And the ones I have...

Hi Lovedogs,
Would you mind sharing your contact info for this vendor? I'm looking for a 57sp color which no one seems to have.
Thank you!
 
Does anyone know if Jeff White cuts lab gems by request? I e-mailed him based on a lab gem of his that someone posted here, but didn’t get a response.

Yes, he does.

I just put down a deposit last week for a custom-cut asscher lab sapphire. His turn around time is 6 - 8 weeks, so it will be a while before I receive my stone.
 
Hmm, I wonder why I haven’t gotten a response from him.
