Wow, I'm in looove with this gem, it seriously glows in every light. I've stacked it upside down onto an existing ring to see what it looks like in a halo but not sure how it will be set. Gene is a magician!

Wow, just stunning! I think it will steal the show however you set it! :kiss2:

Yes, it's the cushion cut YAG (I now know what that means!) from Precision Gems. Pictures do not do it justice, it glows.
So you're gonna keep it, huh? Huh? I thought you would like it. :dance:

BTW, what are the dimensions of the stone?

Did anyone get one of these from Gene’s latest drop? The cut on the YAG is so perfect. I hope a PSer bought it so I can see how that cut looks irl.

He could have sold one of those directly to me if he had just taken the time to respond to my email from a couple of weeks ago. That man does business in a weird way. I guess it works for him.

Lol me too!!! I asked if I could have one cut and was told no. Sad.

I did reply to your email. Maybe it ended up in your spam folder or your email service blocked it.

I don't find anything in any of my folders when I search for either "gene" or "precision". Perhaps you forgot to click "send"?

Thanks for replying here! Hopefully you and @SouthernGent can work together down the line. I like that PS can allow vendors and PSers to connect/clear up misunderstandings like this. :wavey:

Although I think it can also cause some trouble too ;)2. Nice to see you've calmed down from yesterday :P2. (I promise I'm not thread jacking again @SouthernGent).

I think when it helps ppl communicate clearly it's great. When it doesn't, there are many issues haha

I tried for the YAG. Got the automated purchase email but no true confirmation nor refund....

I had just opened the cover to my tablet when his email notification came through. But I find there are so many screens and fields to fill out & then logging into PayPal that I’m not sure I was fast enough. o_O

I feel the same way when checking out. I really hope you got it and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. ;)2

Many cutters do business this way. The stones drop when they drop and there is no “fast pass” to the front of the line. It can be frustrating when I’m on the hunt for a particular stone/color, but I understand why they do it.

In my case, I wasn't looking for any sort of "fast pass" - I had a handful of fresh-smelling $100 bills and was looking for someone to cut a specific shaped stone for me...on their schedule...no jumping to the front of the line involved.
No worries, though - I found someone with plenty of lab Paraiba to cut me numerous stones and we're in the process of getting things done.

Here’s my paraiba colored YAG from Precision Gem. These pictures were taken on an overcast day but but they still give you a pretty good idea of the color. It’s so bright in person and Gene’s cutting is phenomenal.

Here’s a video clip of all three gems together. It’s not the best but i wanted to share anyway.

@elle_71125 this makes me SO EXCITED to get my lab emerald and lab spinel! And SO JEALOUS that I missed the YAG! I asked Gene to switch my order to include the cobalt spinel (since I've wanted one for so long), and scrap the pink lab sapphire. But GAHHHHHHH it's so gorgeous. I need to stalk his instagram and twitter so I can jump on the next ones!

Thank you. :love: I can’t wait to see them set, which probably isn’t anytime soon :confused2:, but at least I can still pull them out and play with them. :mrgreen2:

Ooh..I’m very excited to see your lab spinel. :cool2: It’s gonna be awesome! And the emerald, of course. I already know how pretty that will be. Did you request a particular cut or size?

I bet you’ll be able to snag one of the YAGs. It seems like he’s been putting them up pretty frequently. :twisted2:

I requested a big lab emerald in a cushion cut (3-4cts). And for the lab spinel a round between 8-9mm. Cannot wait!

How do you know when he drops them? Instagram? Twitter?

Your gems are going to be fantastic. I can’t wait to see them. :kiss2:

There was a glorious span of time when he dropped them on Saturdays / Sundays pretty regularly. I admit to having carried around my phone and randomly checking his website.:mrgreen2: Now days the drops are more sporadic. :confused2: It’s always a surprise now but I usually see it on Twitter before I get an email.
