Well, the recut I had done was originally a stone that bad (or worse probably), and it lost 20% of it's weight being recut. The pavilion might need to be recut on these as well as the crown. The minimum cost to recut was $350 when mine was done, so you'd have to compare the price of the stones plus the recut charge and what it would cost to buy a GIA excellent stone that is 20% smaller.

You lose a lot of diameter/surface area this way, not worth it. A better geometry to recut is a deep pavilion, you lose little surface area.

Wow - VERY cool thread about your recut! I have to say, looking at the Sarin I would've thought pre-recut things would've been limping along pretty badly, but actually it was quite a lovely stone in its (asymmetric, random) way! Nothing to compare with BGD's recut, though.  I'm surprised to see how much weight it lost given the recut plan looks only a wee bit different than the original stone - I guess when you spread it out all around the girdle things add up.
