Thanks Gypsy,
I think I should start having a list of questions based on my research & your comments to slap at the jeweler's face. I know you're saying this is not a buying expedition, I think I'm very likely falling into her sugar-coated talk. Just kidding, I've found some reference images on what to expect on radiant's cut ASET images:
Mediocre - Bad:
Average - Good:
Excellent - Ideal:
Do you think these can be used as a carry-on reference for me before viewing the diamond in person ?
I can see that in the bad range, there's a lot of white (light leakage). But in the excellent range, there seems to be quite a bit of white too. It's not like in contains all intense red or green. Or it's just the way radiant cuts perform - ie: less big fire, more of small sparkles.
Damn, can't really focus at work anymore because of this.
