Now I have been a good girl and read winks stuff on colored stones more than twice and I have a couple gem books as well AND I searched the ps board for depth and got 10 million returns so here I am in search of a reasonable answer.
I am presently looking at colored stones that are cut so deep that they show up noticably smaller. I know cutters do that to retain weight and I guess I can deal with paying for stone I can't see BUT is this deep gonna effect the light return as I am looking at very sparkly like gems that are known for returning light. Thus will these deep stones show less beauty and light return like diamonds do? At what percentage should the line be drawn for a round colored stone?
Thanky
