[QUOTE="Dihusky, post: 485623, member: 10304"] That looks to be a lovely stone Kits and worthy of a good cutter. If the stone is 10.2ct expect to lose at least 2/3rds during the cutting and a lot of this depends on how well the stone fits the design. To be honest I think it would be a shame to send it to Thailand as though they cut nice stones, there is a big difference between 'Native' cutting and precision cutting. A 3ct precision cut stone will always be worth considerably more than a native cut stone. Some top cutters on this forum so have a hunt, check out their work and find someone near you. [/QUOTE]
