I was upset to read (per Fred Cuellar) that as of Sept. 2005 Emerald Cut Diamonds are no longer bondable. He says they will be "dirt cheap" (no offense to dirt!!) because "flats & macles" (??) are being dumped on the market. The saturated marked coupled with "lower customer interest" means they are no longer bondable. I know that he is no fan of the EC (he highly recommends the Royal Asscher), but I love mine & this makes me sad
.....Is he correct about this??
