Oval Precision-Cut Zircon Needed
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I’m sending out a piece of rough zircon and want it transformed into a flawless, meets-point precision cut with an oval outline. I’m not after the usual brilliant, step, or mixed approaches—instead, every facet has to align perfectly for maximum fire and light return.
Gem specifics
• Stone: Natural zircon
• Final shape: Oval
• Cut style: True precision cut (meets-point symmetry)
What I expect when the job is complete
– Sharp, mirror-like facets that stay clean under a 10× loupe
– Even girdle and balanced pavilion/crown angles to bring out the stone’s full brilliance
– Faceting diagram or written angles report for reference
– High-resolution photos and a short video under daylight and LED before the stone is shipped back
Please let me know about your experience with zircon (I’m aware it behaves differently than diamond, sapphire, or emerald), the faceting machine you’ll be using, your estimated yield from the rough, and your turnaround time. I’ll cover insured shipping both ways once we agree on the workflow.
