Have been considering a recut for the past few years on my 2.57 RB. I can admit I was definitely sucked in by the size and didn't know much about cut or brilliance at the time. But after staring at it for the past 5 years, I can see that the diamond definitely doesn't perform at its best and it has started to bug me.
So, I decided recently to have it reset into a YG bezel and figured now would be the time to really look into the recut.. The stats on my diamond are pretty meh.
Cut Grade 3
Color Grade L
Carat Weight 2.57
Clarity SI1
Diameter 8.9 (which i believe is big for a stone of this carat weight?)
We sent the diamond to Southwest Diamond Cutters and they have said the diamond needs a total overhaul.
They could get it to a Triple EX ideal but the stone would go down to just 2.2 Carats and a 8.3 diameter. That lose in diameter would be super noticeable right?
What is everyone's thoughts. Should I do it?? Especially considering my love for bezels, I think an ideal cut is almost necessary with that kind of setting, no?
I don't plan on selling the diamond ever, but to fall below the 2.25 carat weight is a zinger.
