Hands up, I just cannot resist after seeing a pic on his FB page.

A real 2-3ct Emerald of that colour and clarity is beyond my reach for a good few years.

Apparently there is a lot of interest for this material, and he may be placing another order for more.

Hence I am wondering if anyone else is having one cut by him.

Can't post this in CS as it is about synthetic material.

Do you mind if I ask what the approximate cost is? I already own a lab-grown emerald, and it's so beautiful - but I'm sure the cut can't compare to what he's doing.

2-3ct will fall within his minimum per stone rate, more expensive above that range.

I’m on a cruise and can’t search. Can you post a pic and price on fabulous faux board? Thanks!

So? Did you get yours? :whistle:

I went a bit crazy but I think it was worth it. Have to take photos tomorrow but wow. I didn't even think I liked emeralds much, nor a green stone in general.

Here is mine, 10x10mm synthetic emerald. Camera mutes the color a bit, it's a little brighter and glowy in real life. Much better than I had expected.

So I went a little crazy and also got a synthetic sapphire. I'm torn about how I feel about this one, it's not quite what I expected but there is something about it. It's more violet with gray modifier, reminds me of gray blue spinel.

It's also from Jeff. When I was getting the emerald he posted about on IG I off handedly asked him about synthetic sapphire and he happened to have a rough. It's not quite what I expected but it's a very beautiful stone and it's totally growing on me.
