[QUOTE="blayke, post: 84810, member: 2379"] I have recently had the same problem with a 50 carat blue I have...finding a trusted cutter however my mum knows a few and they have said I'm welcome to watch then do it (more because I am interested in how it's done)....personally if I didn't know ANYONE that cut or a best friend that trusted a cutter I would be inclined to Send it to Lamberts....many people have issues with Thailand however Imo their reputation is too big nowadays and if they were caught swapping stones they'd lose too much business to be worth it unless it was a million dollar stone...they do a good quality cut now and unless the stone will be worth 5 grand or more after being cut I see no point in spending 30-40 a carat for a cutter on a stone that's probly worth slightly more than what u spent on cutting....I've also seen many thai cuts that are better than local cutters...at the end of the day u can never fully trust anyone except if you do it yourself ;) [/QUOTE]
