I like the rectangular shape of this radiant cut diamond. The pin-fire flashes look nice to me but only under certain lighting conditions (either in bright daylight or in a well-lit room). In regular diffused lighting environment, it is definitely not as bright as my round brilliant or August Vintage Cushion diamonds.
My questions are: Is this diamond considered well cut for a Radiant diamond? Is its lack of brightness (relative to a round brilliant and AVC) in regular lighting environments typical of radiant cut diamonds? Would recutting be able to noticeably enhance its brightness and performance under more lighting environments?
Thanks for your feedback in advance!
