Do they get darker? Lighter? Brighter? My sapphire from Alex Weber arrived (2.51ct cushion cut), and its great in *perfect* lighting. The rest of the time it blacks out. It has no inclusions to speak of, and in the right light (10am - 2pm directly under the sky light in my stair case) it's gorgeous. Apart from that? Not so great.
Would I be better with a recut? From who? I bought it at an auction, I can't return it, and I just want it to be better than this. This is my one and only.
ETA It's a native cut, by the way. And in the best light, it shows a loooot of purple. I'm afraid heat might make it darker.
