Hello all,
Well, I''ve ventured away from "Rocky Talk" for the moment & I searched through the forum, high and low, but could not find the answers to what I''m looking for. I''m trying to get a baseline idea of where I can get Aquamarine & Peridot cut. I''ve got my eye on a place I''ve seen mentioned on Pricescope before - a place to get the rough;
Peridot
Aquamarine
I''m just brainstorming on ideas here & wasn''t sure how much it would cost to have somebody cut some rough into rounds, ovals, pears, etc. Since these stones are not very expensive as it is, maybe it''s just best to buy what I''ll end up looking for from the store. Maybe the cutting and finishing costs will FAR outweigh what I would otherwise pay for a cut Aquamarine or Peridot.
Any rough ideas of cutting cost per carat (rough or finished), shape, etc.? Any idea who can cut these? Are there import implications I need to be aware of when buying from a place such as this?
Forgive my lack of knowledge and feel free to smack virtual sense into me if the above ideas seem absurd and I should just look for the finished product instead!
Thanks!
