QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
NOW OFFERING Custom Cutting
Service for Your Gemstones - As of
March 15th, 2024, I have decided to return to doing repairs,
recuts or cutting of rough gemstones on a limited basis (so
as not to get so backlogged that I can't provide a good
service). Labor rate is $50 U.S. per hour and all work
is done at the risk of the stones' owner as some gemstones
are just unstable or have undisclosed treatments that can
cause problems during the cutting process. I don't think
I've ever lost someone else's stone to such an issue, but it
certainly is possible. Also, I do not work on all
gemstones, particularly man-made, fracture filled, diffusion
treated or other stones of very low value.
IMAGES YOU ARE
SEEING: I do the best we can to provide a (one)
good image, video and accurate description of each
gemstone. The written descriptions of color and clarity
should be given more consideration than the photos. My
computer monitor is meticulously calibrated for offset
printing, which is the most universal standard. If you
are using yours the way it came from the factory, it is
probably set to be far too bright and images will look washed
out or faded. The colors will also likely be
incorrect. If the gray backgrounds of my images display
a more than a slight secondary color such as yellow, blue or
magenta, your monitor is likely not adjusted correctly.
HOW CAN I SEND PAYMENT? I
accept Paypal or Zelle sent the email address of
daniel@customgemstones.com or you can mail a check or money
order to Daniel Stair at the address above. Please
verify stone availability before sending payment.
SPECIAL REQUESTS:
I
am happy to try and cut a stone for you if I have the rough and
what you ask for is not wasteful or something that nobody else
would likely want. With those things in mind, there is no
obligation on your part to purchase the stone if you don't like
what we come up with. I tend to have a waiting list, so it
may take some time to get to your stone. If you are in a
rush for some reason, please let me know.
WILL SOMEONE NEED TO
SIGN FOR MY PACKAGE? Yes, in most cases I prefer
to use signature confirmation to make sure packages aren't put
in roadside mail boxes or thrown on peoples' porches. For
international shipments, sent via Global Express Mail or
registered mail, a signature will also be needed. Please provide
a secure mailing address where someone will be available to sign
for the package if needed.
WILL YOU CUT MY ROUGH,
RECUT OR REPAIR MY STONE? Sorry, this service has
been discontinued. My own stones sat around here for years
because I was always so busy working on other peoples'
gems. A few years ago, I decided to leave the cutting of
rough, repairs, etc. to the other cutters in the world.
PRICESCOPE MEMBERS - Due to my desire to concentrate on cutting
more stones, I will no longer respond to your requests for
additional photos and videos on the hand or in different
lighting. Additionally, because of your high return rate
(probably 25x normal) I will no longer knowingly sell spinels to
members of Pricescope.com and any other sales to Pricescope
members are final - no returns, no exceptions.
Should you decide to
purchase one of my stones, please review my return policy
and terms of sale below.
