Strm and Diagem, if you were to start with this 2.26 ct asscher and turn in into an asscher of your design approximately what would the final weight and dimensions be?
Also, I think all the inclusions are near the bottom of the stone near the skin and near the culet.
So if you polished off there it may yield a VVS1 or IF stone.

way to small and it would be a shame to recut that diamond.
gog has a great trade up policy.
Storm, I see your design has a depth of 76%.
My asscher's depth is 67%.
That means we would retain the depth of my diamond but polish away the 4 sides.
The face up size of my asscher would go down and the inclusions near the culet would most likely remain.
Still, I like your design better than mine.
I've always felt mine looked a little large on me anyway.
Can anyone predict the weight loss?
Would it fall below 2 ct?
Falling below 2 ct would be a substantial financial negative.
Edit:
I ran some numbers.
If my asscher was recut to become a Volcano the absolute depth of 4.96mm would not change but the width would go down from 7.41mm to 6.53 mm.
Of course the depth percentage would increase from 67% to 76%.
Diagem how's your precision? (at least this rock is easier to hold on to.)
Can you assure GIA Ex Ex polish and symmetry?
