Hi Supersmart Coloured-Stone PSers,
I'm hoping you can help me land on the best route to reset my pink sapphire with the lovely cushion diamonds that I recently acquired from the even lovelier @mrs-b.
The pink sapphire is 2.56 carat (7.65 x 7.50 x 4.48 mm). The crown is modified brilliant cut and the pavilion is step cut. It is unheated and GIA certified.
Like many others, I have learned a lot after joining PS. I will let the pictures speak for themselves - my dilemma, after receiving the new-to-me cushion diamonds, is the sapphire itself. The sapphire windowing is tolerable (to me) in its current setting because the trillions are mostly dead and, well, I'm pink! So I'm sorta like a pink flesh cup that kinda (maybe?) cancels some the giant window out.
I think the first task is determining whether the experts here think the sapphire needs to be recut. The pictures below were selected to show the windowing. It is very vivid pink and is almost always like a glowy jolly rancher candy. What I don't want to do is pay for a reset with the cushions and have the sapphire be: meh.
I'm assuming that the answer to the first task will be: h*ll yes. So that's where I need some help to start off. Who - where - and what do I ask them?
Thank you in advance.
