What stoes do you find believable in 2 ct and under poppy seed ? I don't mind cooking. I've cooked a couple using my laptop. LOL

With Chris stones this is my list of DANG!!!! which means that's TOTALLY BELIEVABLE!!!! grin

Round Brilliant H&A

Asscher

Cushion

Elongated Asscher

Oval

Pear

Emerald

OEC

Transitional Cut

The newest Old Mine Cut *

The reason the OMC has a * is because this is the only one of the stones I've listed of Chris' I don't own myself but have just viewed here...

The only one of his cuts that needs some work... which I haven't purchased in about a year so they could be better now is his Princess cut ....

I've also have never seen his Radiant .... but really any of the other cuts are perfect and gorgeous... you can't go wrong with them... if you are wanting to do a piece of jewelry and watching your budget feel totally comfy with using his stones and putting the money in on the setting... they are really that awesome... smile

Your welcome... I can't say enough about ChrisUK's stones... I use them all the time... got something in the works right now with some of his stones....

... If I'm wanting to do a project and all on what the stone shape is I want to use... you can always bet that the stones are either Chris or Wink.... Every time... wink

Chris stones are absolutely delicious. I got my first order yesterday and I scrubbed them, baked them, then just sat there staring at them all day lol. Completely believable.

Oh I got...
9mm H&A8
10mm OEC in warm
8x10 Pear
8mm Asscher

Once they were baked (2 hrs on 425) they were this rich, warm, steely, crisp amazingness.
I should be getting his lab sapphires next week I can't wait.

**BTW after playing with the 9mm and the 10mm, I'm pretty sure that 10mm is my sweet spot in rounds. Even 9 was looking a little on the small side. And I am DEFINATELY on team OEC laugh

The 8mm asscher seems REALLY small on me. I ordered a setting for it last night but I think I'm going to try a 10mm this time round. But small or not it's absolutely gorgeous.

Hahaha I'm on my phone but I'll switch over to my comp and try to put some up. As for my favorite I love them ALL!! Ok the OEC, Asscher, and Pear tie for first and the H&A comes in second, but let me explain why!

I'm not a huge fan of round cut stones in the first place, I find them to common. So the asscher and pear automatically beat it. The OEC also beat the H&A because I LOVE the big chunky facets. It's a round but it's an uncommon (not on here obviously but in day to day life) type of round. I just find the OEC more esthetically pleasing to me.

The cuts are all fabulous though. Nice sharp facets and a rich color that really pop once baked.
*i found them too white straight out of the bag. Even the warm OEC, but once baked oh my gaaaaaaaaaaawsh. Perfection. The stones "accept" a baking really well. Massive difference.
