In my experience, it’s not always worthwhile to have every stone recut or reconditioned, since the costs often outweigh the potential benefit. The degree of wear or damage really dictates whether recutting makes sense, or whether the stone might be better suited as rough for a new design.
It’s important to work with someone who can assess the potential market value of the material before making that decision. We collaborate with trusted cutters both abroad and domestically, and can recommend the right partner depending on the scope of the project.
If we can be of help, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
