We may not know who this particular gemcutter is, but we can form a list of some of the very best US gemcutters, any one of which would be able to reproduce that stone:
1. Gene Flanigan/Precision Gem 2. Dan Stair, Jr./Custom gemstones 3. Jeff White 4. Ben Kho 5. Michael Edgett 6. Jeff Graham 7. Richard Homer 8. Bob Collins, AKA Gembob
This list is by no means all inclusive; gemcutters listed in no particular order.
You might also look for some gemcutters who may have recently been banned from Pricescope since the administrator posted that that particular gemcutter could not be mentioned...
You know what, radi8? That was my very first thought when I saw the stone!
It's gorgeous! And it sounds like a lot of people still buy and appreciate his work - I wonder what he did to get himself banned??
I find it kind of funny that they have prevented people from posting about him AT ALL. I mean, ok he did whatever he did don't let him on the site, but now nobody can MENTION his name again?!
