We sell these calibrated brilliant sapphires to designer makers and the wholesale market. The sizes start at 2mm and go to 5.75mm in graduations of .25mm. We then sort them into three colour palettes. We are very particular about the cutting quality and only cut with a diamond pavilion (no step cutting). All the stock is eye clean. We also cut other shapes however, these are the most popular.
