I've been reading some of the lengthier in-depth threads about cut this morning and started to wonder why PSers branch off into cut groups. Many come here, as I did, with the RB held up as the ultimate expression of beauty and then find their niche elsewhere with olds, steps, or new cuts.
For me, it could of course be the influence of the culture of PS, but then again I notice now that I kept being attracted to RB diamonds with warmth and broader facets. When I saw my first OEC it was - OK, yes, that's what I was looking for...just in the wrong place.
So it either has to be genetic - i.e. how my eye perceives light in the most pleasurable way, or my last reincarnation was around 1900. Which is a nice thought because maybe all the OEC nuts here have met before LOL.
It would be fun to hear from others here - your favorite cut and why you think that cut stands out to you. ???
