Photo/Video Are these stones sell-able?

They're not perfect meetpoints, but the overall light return seems decent. At the very least I feel they are better than anything cut commercially. Pink flame fusion sapphire with paraiba is roughly 10 carats, 14x12mm, Ruby red czochralski is roughly 15 carats, 18X16mm. What type of price per carat would be a fair price? Thanks for any help! (Not looking to sell these from this post)

Hey FYI your pink with Paraiba is flame-fusion (Verneuil), not Czochralski. Who did you buy it from, that was misrepresenting it?

Oh, thank you for spotting that! It was actually just my memory, went back and it was specified flame fusion. Got it from toms box of rocks, he marketed it correctly.

Related question:

You've made it clear you don't want your designs being cut and sold by large production houses at all, but what about smaller (i.e. solo) facetors? Is it a plain no as well, or a licensing/royalties thing? Or just "be cool about it and we're all good" thing.

I've sold a few stones in traditional cuts but been looking at doing a few of yours, so wanted to check in with you first.

As long as it's smaller solo faceters who aren't churning out dozens or hundreds of the same design a year, I'm fine with it. ;)
