Ashley has sourced a G/VS1 Lab Diamond for me and it should end up around 3.35 carats after the re-cut. I am so excited! He offered to source the diamond which is extremely nice of him, and I am so glad his expert eyes chose the best diamond for this project. I just paid the invoice. I hope to place it in a solitaire or bezel setting but haven't thought too much about the setting yet.

Hope everyone has a great Holiday weekend and Holiday. I will be working so the project gives me something fun to think about while I'm there.. :)
 
How exciting!! Looking forward to seeing the final product!
 
Can't wait to see! Is this a cut stone being tweaked, or is he starting with rough? It would be nice if he took some "before" photos. Do you know any of the stats of the stone in its current state?
 
Excited to see results! Keep us posted!
 
Can’t wait see this!! I assume he bought a RB to recut? Exciting!

Thank you for sharing my excitement. :) Ashley is tweaking the stone. Before I decided on an OEC or transitional cut diamond and was considering a OMC cushion Ashley was sending me pics and stats of stones to consider. When I asked for an OEC instead I asked him to choose the stone and told him no need to send me pics or stats. He then told me he had found a great stone G/VS1 to cut that would end up around 3.36 carats and I say "yes please". Lol

I was thinking- I can shoot him an email asking for pictures of the before diamond for PS members who are reading this thread. Never hurts to ask.

I am so excited for you just like other members of this forum are! Can you tell us more? What made you decide on a re-cut, was this a diamond you already had, how will you set it and all the other details? If I am asking too many questions I apologize. Just so excited about this.
 
Hello there! :)

I am new to Price Scope. hello everyone!

Recut: I have always loved the old cut charm of an oec .... something just so magical about the chucky flashes. I've always wanted a large oec and buying a MRB with the purpose of getting it recut was always the goal. I've heard too many great things about southwest cutters and went for it.

Setting: It will be in a bezel. Still don't know what style yet. I do have 3.3mm lab French cuts from DK though. I've worked on 3 bezel styles and cannot make up my mind on which one I want. :)
 
l have no idea what I want lol May take a while longer for a setting. Being an artist is hard. I am never ever satisfied. But the inspired era design will be Edwardian “something”.
 
What fun! Do you have any inspiration photos that you have collected and can share regarding what direction you are going in for the setting?
