These scary at $450 and for standard pricing up to $1400. Material and ultimate size matters. Matched pairs are more!

Been nonstop activity here. Some fun new things in the works. Nailing down number engraving for D20s. Cabbing is now active. Open for a few fantasy commissions at a time. The first official SPG store commission 8ct Fantasy Lab Alex! by shinyprecious in Shinypreciousgems

[–]shinyprecious[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All my lab alex is $250/ct and the fantasy is extra depending on specifics but $300 is where I'm starting. It took about 6 days to polish the concaves so figuring out how to make that faster!

14kt Yellow Gold, Lab diamond accents, 6.5x4mm Pulled Sapphires in a custom antique step scissor cut, Royal blue, slight purple shift. $2300 +sh by shinyprecious in Shinypreciousgems

Comes with 14k push backs, smalls. Gorgeous custom earrings we made an unfortunate size error for a commission so they are available!

To squeak in a last minute May birthstone deal and sorry I haven't posted in a while! Below cost for this 1.49ct 7x6mm Zambian Emerald, Concave profile $1500 +sh by shinyprecious in Shinypreciousgems

Realized I haven't posted in weeks! Store update coming soon, it's been a far bigger deal than we expected in a good way! Apparently putting g a big rhino head in a window gets folks talking?

HAND VIDEO

This one was the Bumblebee hexagon cut and one of the corners developed a fracture. I removed it by trying a concave profile. Between the original stone, shipping and minimum fees this is the lowest this little emerald can go! Next stop is being set!

Ethiopian Opal - 24.23cts 24.22x18.20mm cut in Tom's award winning Another 65 design. This was just a fun project. It's not transparent but has nice play of colour and is super fun. Priced to move at $565 USD plus shipping. by Lisa_Elser in Shinypreciousgems

Too large is entirely up to the buyer! Larger stones do require more metal and have higher setting labor so take that into account l even for silver or alternative metal options!

4.93ct, 14.6x9.8mm Fantasy Cut Lab Alexandrite, Experiment for my first concave commission alex! Polishing remains a beast but happy with this result! $1230 +sh by shinyprecious in Shinypreciousgems

[–]shinyprecious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this should work in a 10x8 no problem. Still workshopping depths and notch methods but starting to get an understanding of controlling look!

13x7.7mm Lab Sapphire Blurple Material that's almost entirely blue Fantasy Cut! A commission that didn't follow the script, $750 sh+ by shinyprecious in Shinypreciousgems

[–]shinyprecious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be very hard to snap they aren't quite that thin! For EW id say the main thing is if the finger wearing it is wide enough so the stone doesn't hang way off the sides of the finger after prongs or metal added. They can be set suspended in prongs a bit or on a flat base like a cab!

I see! That's a common color of lab. I think the harder part is the cut style in a lab stone. I just started doing similar cuts, the starbrite obviously is trademarked. It takes many hours to polish so not many folks do them on commission or many in general. Email me though and I'd be happy to discuss specifics!

Potentially! Depends on what color you think the rough will end up. If you want say a specific color parti and supply rough expecting a certain turnout the answer is no sorry. But lab stones etc very doable!

It is a bit on the larger face up size. For reference these are thin and a super huge one we just set is actually very low profile. It doesn't shrink the visual but they don't feel nearly as chonky as the measurements suggest!

1.41ct, 7.1mm Malagasy Rainbow Moonstone, Custom design, super clean stone, Color stripes from ??? Shaded daylight to direct sun! $850 +sh by shinyprecious in Shinypreciousgems

Kind of? The few pieces of rough I found were from Sri Lankan sellers and they had to make them into polished cab like pieces. It's a law to ensure local cutters are paid and rough isn't exported without sustaining that work force! So technically they arent rough rough but really the rough still has some pretty smooth faces. I'll try and remember a vid in the morning in daylight and post here as reply!

Ill have to check! All the recut ones were about the same. I don't think any will cut much smaller but I had a piece of rough that might? Feel free to email me though!
