Wow, that's spectacular! If I had it I think I'd leave it uncut and have it set for pendant. It looks so smooth and pretty.

Great idea Maria.
It would almost be a crime to cut it the way it looks now.

It does look very cool the way it is right now. She is a lucky lady.

Great looking rock! This is what my DH has in mind when I say "Wanna look at diamonds?!"

How cool!
Seems to be fairly high color. :appl:
Looks like cutting it into a marquise would retain the most weight.

Does anyone know, roughly, what it would cost to have a diamond like this cut?

Beautiful rock. I'd cut that sucker. LOL I thought an oval, pear or marquise as Kenny mentioned would maximize the rough.

I think it's around $350/ct to cut..on average. Some might charge less, some more. I'd pay it. :lickout:
