| Hand Faceted Teal Sapphire |
Unique hand-cut Sapphires.
This Teal Montana Sapphire was hand cut using a very old Jamb Peg Machine which is a device used in faceting gems comprising a piece of wood containing a series of holes in which a dop stick can be fixed at varying angles. These are hand cut so the faceting is not calibrated (Machined Cut) and may be slightly uneven with slight imperfections in the sapphire.
These are beautiful natural stones that have not been heat treated or glassed filled.
In the figure to the left you can see the basic set up of a traditional jamb peg faceted. The spinning lap provides the grinding and polishing surface, the wooden "dop" sticks to which the rough is adhered, serve to hold the stone in position as various cuts are made.
The angle of the cut is controlled by placing the dop stick in a particular hole, the depth of cut is controlled by the amount of time the piece spends in contact with the lap and how hard the faciter presses down on it, and the radial position is controlled by removing, slightly rotating, and reinserting the dopstick in its hole as each different cut is made. Most stones that are cut on such equipment are referred to as "native cut".
