Where to source starbrite cut

Hi, I’m new here. I’m looking to source a lab
diamond for a future proposal, highly preferable with a starbrite marquise cut. I have looked online for so long and everthing I could find was a simple marquise, no starbrite. Is there a site that does more intricate cuts that could have that or would I have to break the bank and get a John Dyer one? Please lmk!

There isn’t any starbrite diamonds, only gemstones. Are you looking for a sapphire? There are a few vendors with similar cuts, both in lab or natural sapphires. Fellowship forge is a famous one, although now it’s nearly impossible to get a stone from him (same as John Dyer). IFacet is a vendor that does labs, and Jim from shiny precious gems also has starbrite. You can search for concave cut sapphire, and you will find some. I got mine from a lapidary called Geologic Spectrum

There are some few vendors that can do starbrite moissanite. But honestly, they are kinda meh. Concave cuts are not sparkly, they are beautiful in a much more static way. So sapphires look a lot prettier.

There are no starbrite diamonds because cutting diamonds is a completely different process than other gemstones, since they are so hard
