does anyone know where I can find old cut sapphires?
Sapphires are usually cut to showcase the best colour possible, while maintaining as much brilliancy as possible. OEC cutting is at odds with what coloured stones are cut for. This is why even RB CS have different patterns than RB diamonds. It is possible to try to balance the OEC pattern and blue saturation but this will fall into the realm of custom cutting for the most part.I’m curious: how is the light return on OEC sapphires? Is there a reason they’re not usually cut this way?
I heard Peter does not cut for 'retail customers'. I wanted to buy a gem from Wildfish and have it recut later but Ed said he needs to ask Peter for me. That was last year.I know peter Torraca will. I believe dan stair does. Most cutters could custom cut you one as well. Dan stair took my marquise and cut it into an antique moval.
