How much does faceting cost?
It depends on what you want for your end result. Good faceting can be done at low cost with overseas cutters. This cost can be a low as $15.00 per finished carat weight of stones that finish cutting at 1 carat and above, but depending on how many sapphire you have cut, the cost can come down to as low as $5.00 per stone. But for large, great quality stones, there is no better choice than to use a cutter here in the US. The price is much higher, starting around $50 per stone on up depending on the stone’s finished weight. For my best stones, I can pay as much as $400 for a remarkable quality cut and appraisal.
