Hello,
So I am looking to have a bezel eternity band made with rose cut stones. I was thinking that white sapphires would go nicely in it and began to search and found a source for them out of county, but was looking to see if maybe someone in the US could cut them for me. I'm looking for 4mm rose cut stones. So I emailed two faceters/vendors and one stated that they would be looking for some rough or even a source to buy from. The other stated that rose cut sapphires would be "terrible" and would look like cut glass and I should find a different material. Is this true. I have seen pictures of the out of country vendor and they don't look like cut glass to me, but that is just a picture. I know that typically rose cut diamonds don't disply much fire or brilliance because of the cut so I assumed a white sapphire would look similar I don't want it looking like glass either. Please provide your opinions. Thanks
