The current natural sapphire market has seen such extremes in supply and demand that Lab Grown Sapphire has been one of the great alternatives.  With the world supply of Sapphire rough being completely wrecked during to Covid Pandemic, finding competitive sapphire pricing has been something from the past.  Most countries outside the US are still suffering from crippling manufacturing delays.  This has cause somewhat of a frenzy for all available natural Sapphire on the market and consequently driven prices up.  With the popularity of Lab Grown on the rise is creates some unique opportunities as a custom faceter.  Rarely are natural sapphires cut into any shape besides what is best for the highest yield.  A custom faceter can sit and improve cutting angles and cut large versions of shapes that would not be practical in natural Sapphire.  This stone is an incredible hot pink color that is visible from across the room.  It has excellent clarity as would be expected.  The cushion shape the has been fantasy cut in a radial pattern on the pavilion.  It is going to make a fabulous ring center that would be unattainable in naturals Sapphire for its color, clarity and size!  Cut at Kosnar Gems in Colorado, Enjoy!
