Craig,

    I was surprised by your statement but then I don't know what
    "overseas" you refer to, Europe, Israel, Australia. Or is it only
    competition cuts you're comparing? Cheap stones are cheap in all
    aspects everywhere. A quality cut stone from any part of the world
    has a pricetag reflecting this, even if they come from India.
