I have a nice sapphire that I'd like to get cut, and see in GG&T there is an ad for Lambert Industries, in Thailand. Anyone any experience?
They say no minimum order qty, which is handy. Has anyone used them? How was the process from sending off to receiving the finished stone?
Regards,
Rob

Hi Rob
I sent some gems away to Lamberts the other day, it is my first time sending them so I can't answer your question.
The "Aussie Lapidary Forum" has some information on gems cut by Lamberts. They sound reliable, but members say you get what you pay for. Apparently they don't polish the stones as well as they would in Australia, but the average observer wouldn't notice.
I will let you know in a month or so how I got on.
Cheers
Brad

Hi Brad,
Would be really interested to hear how you go, and what the service is like.
If I can, I might try and get back out to the spot I dug this one and see if I can get a couple of decent pieces to send off to make the most of the P&P charges.
There is also a Lapidary society open day here in Penrith this weekend, so will try and go along and see the folks there.
Regards,
Rob

G`day Rob,
Mate i have sent them thousands and they are proffessional. Good at cabs too. Even your specials come back good but ur always better off watching them get cut. They dont polish the best but with most 30 point stones no one can notice. try them and you will be pleasently surprised.
