So Jeff White doesn't recut customer sourced stones anymore... and I'm not interested in a concave cut. Any reputable vendors who could recut a sapphire for me?
 
Dan Stair does as well (unless my info is now outdated); IIRC, he recut a red spinel for Chictomato recently. Dana at Mastercutgems has a section of "Remastered" cuts on his site which are recuts of native stones, but I am cannot say if he'd take a customer sourced stone in for a recut.

That seems to be the problem I'm running into, as I already have the stone I want but am looking at maybe a little cutting to bring out better light play.
 
Does anyone know if Barry does recuts? I would love it if he did.

I'd shoot out of a couple emails to those mentioned and some others from the vendors list; maybe Gene Flannigan, John from Gemrite, and Peter Torraca. Hopefully it won't be too hard to find a cutter that will do a recut?

Thanks! I have actually heard good things about Gene, I'll definitely look into these.

Gene does not do recuts. I don't think Peter Torraca does either.
 
Michael E also does re-cuts, or he did the last time I checked. :D
 
Correct; it is a known fact that Gene hates recutting and as such, chooses not to do so. I have not heard of John (Gemrite) or Peter doing recuts but it never hurts to ask.
 
I'm almost 100% sure Barry will only fix his own stones, and does not do re-cuts on other people's stones.
 
Yes! I am happy with Dan Stair's re-cut & communication :appl: :appl: I am a FUSSY. Recommended. Shoot him an email ;))
