As the general public becomes more educated with diamond specs and information on certificates become more important in the diamond purchase, manufacturers of diamonds have more priority to ensure the certificate (or "paper") look good possibly at the expense of the stone''s beauty.
an associate had just pointed this out to me recently in regard to culet size of fancy shapes (it''s not so applicable by rounds i don''t think): say you have a cushion cut that is a little "deep" numberwise. If you lop off the bottom of the culet and go for a small or medium sized culet instead of a pointed culet of NONE you''ve just shaved off some numbers from the "depth" of the stone right there. the stone is the same but the numbers on the certificate just look nicer and you have a culet hole. == uglier stone but nicer certificate.
just coming to point out something, not looking to force an opinion. Cheers
