Thank you all for the lovely comments, I cannot wait to get it. It came in at 10.7x10.7x9mm, 5.8ct, eye clean, excellent colour, nice and bright. He said it was a "fine water" piece of rough and I still have enough to cut a 6x14 emerald cut later.

Faegrace,
Thank you, the ring in my avatar is one of my favorites, Brian Gavin made it for me.

 

[Aoife]

Absolutely gorgeous!

And at that size, that stone is going to have serious presence. I can't wait to see your photos when you get it.

Well you're going to make all the "asscher ladies" jealous with that one!! Look at all those facets!! Very nice cutting.

 

[LD]

WOW that's a big un - I love the colour play on the facets! What are your plans for it?

 

[K9]

Beautiful - and HUGE!

 

[autumngems]

I am still trying to decide on what setting I want. Once I get it in my hands it should be easier, once I see it's size. Any ideas?

I am pleased that he chose a JXR that isn’t too deep in tone to allow the step cut to show through. Can’t wait to see it too.

 

[autumngems]

Unfortunately it takes 2-3 weeks from Australia to get here

 

[Indylady]

Gorgeous ammy!

VERY nice!!! Had been wondering how an asscher cut JXR would look, now I know If this one is like most of the ones I have seen, it will look even better in person...Tricky stuff to photograph one and get it to look exactly like what your eyes see...Looks like a top shelf cutting job as far as my un-trained eye can tell...Also enough rough for a 6x14 emerald AFTER cutting this one? Must have been a honker of a rough to start with....

That was what Doug told me: 2-3 weeks BUT I rec'd it in five days! Maybe that will be the case for you as well. Fingers crossed for you....

I found this great picture of a JXR amethyst that I wanted to post in the latest JXR thread. Look at that color. Looks to be taken in sunlight. This photo was taken by Michelle Matthews probably 6-7 years ago. I had not seen this photo until yesterday. Nice looking crystal. Your gemstone looks very nice. I don't recall really seeing many step cuts...
Well done!

**thud**

That is one beautiful Amethyst ~ What a beautiful ring it will make!!!!
Congratulations !!!!!

Man Doug can cut. How big is the final product? How big was the rough and where did it come from?

 

[erinl]

That is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Your stone is beautiful! And a great size too. I have an amethyst from Georgia but it's only 6mm.

 

[autumngems]

It was a 32.56 ct rough that I got from Seriously Gemented on Ebay, he used to sell Jackson Croosroads rough but I haven't seen aynmore. Mine asscher came in at 10.5mm, 5.8 ct
I have recieved it the otehr day and it's AMAZING, will get some hand pics soon

Looks beautiful. Can you make a larger picture? Just want to see the color and the cut closer. Very interesting cut. Congratulations.

 

[autumngems]

I'll try to take some better ones tonight, that was with my phone

I like how in the one photo you have the gem offset at a 45 degree angle. My wife's Christmas ring that I posted about was originally supposed to have a similar look, but my jeweler had told me that he didn't like how his CAD renderings were turning out with that idea. I hope if you are trying to get a mounted look where it is offset that it works out better for you than it did me as I still think it's an awesome look. Great gem you got there as well!
