Yep. I had requirements for a shallow, but "non-boring" stone and we went through numerous options before we settled on a cut. He did a test cut in a synthetic spinel today and posted it on his facebook page. It looks really good.
This is the cut we settled on.
Yes ma'am, it is indeed a hybrid cut like you described. I can't wait to see it.

And I just got this rendering from David Klass yesterday evening. I think it's going to turn out wonderful!
Thanks. My goal was to have a ring where the stone is the center of attention and the ring was just along for the the ride. It's going to be an everyday-wear ring, so it needs to be unobtrusive with me doing my daily activities, reaching in my pockets, etc.

This is exciting! I've been along for the entire ride with you. You have been patient and careful and sometimes funny.
I vote for white gold or platinum. Platinum develops a patina over time, so you'd have to be sure it's what you like.

My stones from Gene are done (from when he was still taking custom cuts)!!!
Funny? I try to take things lightly that's for sure. I'm known as quite the character at work with all my shenanigans.This is exciting! I've been along for the entire ride with you. You have been patient and careful and sometimes funny.
I'm a bit sad that your journey is almost over. What will you do next? You definitely need another project to keep you here.

Not quite. Had an idea at first to set the emerald in a cvb, but honestly I just can't quite live with paying 2500 for a setting in 14k gold without any diamonds.Aaargh they're beautiful! So exciting! Do you have any plans for setting them?
This is the one I was considering.I’ve always wondered what her settings ran. Her work is stunningly gorgeous but GEEZ! And that’s just solid gold??
Too rich for my blood
I initially began talking to Bryan at Stag and Finch two weeks ago because they had posted an Arctic Blue Lab Sapphire and I'd been looking for something slightly darker than this shade with possibly a hint of purple. The arctic blue:
Bryan mentioned that he had been looking to try out a blue/purple color change sapphire, so I told him that I was interested- the rough will be arriving later this week! He's been wonderful in terms of communication and I believe he can get settings from Stuller!
Looking forward to posting pictures when I get some!

His girlfriend had to have emergency back surgery late last week and I told him not worry about my stone until he gets her fixed back up. I'm hoping to hear from him any day now.
Agreed. I think the paraiba color Garnet I've seen is much closer in terms of color. Bit this yag Is gorgeous and a great intensity.
YAG paraiba that really isn’t paraiba color but super intense and affordable so I love it anyway.
