off center cutlet and off center table

[megeve]

I am just curious

1 Are all diamonds esp. in fancy cuts having off center cutlet and table?

2 If so, what is the max. off center % to accept and why?

3 How difficult is it to find a well centered diamond?
(have read in a very old posting that one should look for a centered diamond for light performance)

Can anyone enlighten me on these?

Thank you!

There is an example here - the second stone, with H&A''s that is way off center yet it was a very pretty stone

Thanks Gary for your response! That makes for an interesting reading.

However, how high is the percentage that such off center diamonds will turn out pretty?

Is there a general guide line how much off would definitely turn out to be dead?

How high are the chances of getting well centered diamonds?

Your comment will be much appreciated.
