Recutting a stone to make a match???

Let's say someone who shall remain nameless had a very nice cut, modern, perfectly square cushion, a hypothetical .50 if you will, and she wanted a match so it could go into a three stone. let's say that this someone looked for a year for a match and couldn't find one...would it ever be possible to buy a slightly larger one and have it recut to match in size and I guess appearance??? Again, hypothetically of course - and without regard to cost (so this should tell you that is not reality LOL) ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough.

Do you really have to buy a stone that is THAT much bigger or just one that is somewhat bigger and one that matches in terms of cut quality? WHo would do this? Would they guide me in the right direction (i.e., what candidates would be out there for a suitable re-cut?).... I should ask Mark T. about this (who I've been purchasing from). Err, I mean "my friend" should... I just thought of it...But he thinks I'm crazy enough as it is I'm sure :) ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough. I'm smart enough.

oldminer Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,964 Last Post: 11/20/2009 Member Since: 9/4/2000	If one was to want to match a diamond, one would need to have either the diamond and/or a very complete set of its measurments to use in order to buy one that could be cut down just the littlest bit to make a matching stone. Generally, a diamond of .50ct is not so unique as to not already have many diamonds nearly a match available that would not even need recutting, but in that case where cutting has to happen, it sure could be done. Even crazier things are often asked for. David S. Atlas GG(GIA), ASG, Sr. Mbr. NAJA www.datlas.com

Accuracy to .001cts. was required. The only way to fill this order was to buy a bigger stone had have it cut down to size.

moremoremore Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,825 Last Post: 2/9/2009 Member Since: 3/15/2004	OMG that's so funny. I'm not THAT bad. I just want the same look (I guess this is not too hard since I would be getting the same cut quality and the facet pattern in that size is not really visible) and the same size so it looks good. Oh wait, I thought this was hypothetical? HA! Well, at least I'll have some stones to keep me company when my husband leave me ...This is not going to happen any time soon but it's good to know the option is there!!!!! ______________________________ Stewart says: I'm good enough.

strmrdr Ideal Rock Total Posts: 23,296 Last Post: 10/9/2009 Member Since: 11/1/2003	I read on the internet that if you leave a mommy and a papa diamond locked in a safe they have lil baby diamonds. So if you find the mommy and the papa diamond and relock them in the safe they might have a simular looking kid diamond. You can send them to me and I will put them in my safe for you :} I think 29-30 years should be long enough dont you? ........... Karl has joined the diamond trade and is now posting as Karl_K
