[QUOTE="WalnLiz, post: 111279, member: 147"] Always going to get that when sending to Asian cutters, as they generally cut to a time frame and when doing that, quality has to be sacrificed. They also don't always cut the specified refractive index angles for specific gem groups. Generally they come back nice and sparkly, and are more than OK for dress jewelery, but never send a Quality stone to them expecting it to come back well cut. Rule of thumb is you get what you pay for, so if you have a top quality Sapphire in your collection, don't send it over there to get cut. Cheaper stones....great value for money. ;) [/QUOTE]
