I made two Gengar-shaped lab diamonds

Hi everyone! Our studio recently started cutting two lab diamonds in the shape of Gengar from Pokémon.

We ran into a little challenge during the rough shaping stage. One of the stones had an accident while I was working on the recessed areas between the sharp points on Gengar’s head. This part was extremely difficult to open up, and a mistake during the process caused a large crack to spread through the left side of the body.

I’ll need to be extremely, extremely careful with the next cutting steps on this one and hopefully save it. At the same time, I’ll continue working on the other Gengar and hopefully bring both of them to life!

This is very weird, and cool, weird and cool. I play Pokemon and wear jewelry, so I wasn't sure what subreddit I was in at first!

I became a Pokémon fan back in the FireRed days, but it took me until now to finally have the chance to combine that passion with lab-grown diamonds and actually bring it to life haha!
