any pics of antique cut sapphires? All colours welcome!

[blingergrrrl]

I love antique cut elongated cushion shaped stones, and have recently fallen for sapphires in all colours (especially yellow, pads, and whites!). I am thinking of getting some hand cut down the road and am looking for inspiration pics. I would love to see Sapphires in antique chunky facets, like OMCs, etc. I realize that the angles will be different for Sapphs as opposed to diamonds, but am hoping they will still be as beautiful with larger facets.

Thanks for your help!

People have commented that my little pad looks kind of OMC/OEC in cut. Though it''s not really an antique, lol.

This is a yellow I have had for quite awhile. Almost long enough to be considered an antique. LOL

The yellow sapphire is really beautiful.

Thank you Pink tower. At one time it was set in a ring but the setting just did not do the stone justice. It is once again free.

I gather the setting had too much going on?
The yellow sapphire looks like it could make a statement, maybe just a basket and claw prongs if the stone is large. If not, use tapered baguettes, or shields or maybe bullets. Just sleek.

My sapphire is blue and round and definitely not antique, but it has the nice chunky facets that Barry is known to cut!

Nice sapphire, CMW. It begs for something simple like side baguettes or something similar.

Well, asscher cuts have been around for a while so you could say it''s an antique of sorts.

Makingthegrade - wow, what a pretty stone! I love the colour! Who cut the stone?

Colormyworld - lol! That almost looks like a daussi (sp?) cut cushion!

Icekid - that sapph is sooo pretty, it that a button cut? It DOES have that dew-like look of an OEC!

D&T - thanks for the pic...but I am looking for rounder type stones, like cushions, ovals or rounds?

Thanks everyone for your help!

Still looking for more pics tho, lol.
