The recent thread on whether or not to re cut an old cut make me think... Dave, can you tell us...When you are appraising an old stone, can you look at it and know whether or not re-polishing the girdle will help or hinder an old cut stone? I''m just curious...Let''s say the stone performs incredibly - amazing scintillation and fire and brilliance. But it''s got some minor light chipping on one part of the girdle. Would there be any reason to take the chance/risk of re-polishing the girdle to get the chips out (assuming they are invisible to the eye)? I''m just curious since you mentioned in that other thread about re polishing to increase the quality of an old stone.
Thanks for your thoughts!
