Old Cuts, Asets & Ideal Scopes

[surfgirl]

Question to the experts...I keep seeing all these hearts and arrows and the likes on IS and ASET images and I wondered if the old cuts would be worth putting through an IS/ASET or is the old cut style not conducive to those tools? Just curious. Thanks!

I did put my OEC through an IScope just to be sure it wasn''t leaking too much light.

here's the ideal scope pics Richard Sherwood took of my OEC when I had it appraised a couple of years ago..

you can do it but those tools aren't designed to critique old cuts IMO. of course many might not find the beauty in an old cut b/c they weren't cut for optical symmentry. just goes to show beauty is in the eye of the beholder..

interesting photos, thanks!

chrono, your stone looks symmetrical in its own off set way!

mrssalvo, can you post those photos any larger? I''d love to see them bigger.

surfgirl, I''ll try. i''m not a master at resizing, only know enough to get pics uploaded...let''s see if this does it?
