[QUOTE="Dughug, post: 97336, member: 157"] Hey Spud, I have often used Lamberts for stones I can't be bothered to cut myself they provide good service and you get back YOUR stones. When sending your stones over it is often better to also ask for calibrated sizes as it is easier ( & stacks cheaper) to get a commercial setting, there is a small price to pay for calibrated sizes last time was only 0.20 cents per carat extra. If you are going to make the ring yourself then ask for the best size possible from the rough - specify also whether you want eye clean or whether small inclusions are ok. I've also seen larger stones > 10 carats ( smoky quartz & topaz) cut by Lamberts which were more than acceptable . [/QUOTE]
