I know peter Torraca will. I believe dan stair does. Most cutters could custom cut you one as well. Dan stair took my marquise and cut it into an antique moval.

@Mjay you might check out this shop on Etsy, they have a genuine white sapphire oec plus several other antique cut ( natural and lab ). If you were looking for white. Might at least be a cheap way to see if you really like them.

Jeff at Earth’s Treasury cuts OEC Montana sapphires. He has shown them on his Instagram.

I went to his site and searched using the word “European” and found 62 of them in all sizes and colors.

Here is a link to one

I’m curious: how is the light return on OEC sapphires? Is there a reason they’re not usually cut this way?

Sapphires are usually cut to showcase the best colour possible, while maintaining as much brilliancy as possible. OEC cutting is at odds with what coloured stones are cut for. This is why even RB CS have different patterns than RB diamonds. It is possible to try to balance the OEC pattern and blue saturation but this will fall into the realm of custom cutting for the most part.

I heard Peter does not cut for 'retail customers'. I wanted to buy a gem from Wildfish and have it recut later but Ed said he needs to ask Peter for me. That was last year.
