I''ve been loving this forum and reading a ton and I feel like I could make a decent decision on a round, but I just can''t find the passion for rounds that some others here have... they''re gorgeous and easy to grade, but I really would prefer an oval or long cushion. I think LOL I really want a quality cut, I understand how important that is... but when I look at fancies I feel like I''ve gone back 10 years or more in cut savvy. I''ve read everything on the main sites about fancies, and there really isn''t a whole lot out there.
So... of the main vendors, who is THE go-to guy for fancies?
And WHEN are they going to set exacting standards for fancy cuts?? Is there even a plan to?
And I could be totally wrong here, but wouldn''t changing the standard cuts for long stones (ovals etc) like adding side facets or something, help to alleviate ''bow tie''?
Are there cutting edge, experimental type fancy cutters out there? Or are those stones astronomical in price?
