Not necessarily a bad thing - @Rockdiamond likes and sells stones with the 'crushed ice' look (so can't comment on this particular stone, only discuss 'crushed ice' cuts in general) and a lot of stones are cut like that, so the market is clearly out there.No that’s a good idea. I’ll take it in other lights. Is crushed ice a bad thing?
1) the term "crushed ice" needs to be excised from discussions here IMO.
It's not specific or descriptive enough. Add to this the fact it's been tarnished by competitors posting here who promote other sorts of diamond cut. To me, a "bottomless bucket of crushed ice" sounds amazing, but on Pricesope it gets called "mushy" and other things.....

What I look for is an even sparkle.
If a stone is using thousands of tiny flashes ( ok, crushed ice I prefer an even distribution, with no large dark areas.
If an oval is using larger facets and more contrast- similar to a round brilliant, there is bound to be some darkness in the center- but as long as small movements cause the dark facets to light up, it's not a "bad" bowtie IMO.
Is there a term you would prefer in place of 'crushed ice'?
