POINTED CULETS

[Carnell]

What are the disadvantages of a diamond with pointed culets? thanks

Most modern cuts have a "pointed culet" and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that

The opposite is a large culet which really is a flat facet paralel with the table - that shows as a window through the diamond. Old cuts have that and it is not done, or even considered desirable anymore.

There must be a page in the tutorial about this... Have you see it ?

I have heard that you want one with no culet. Is this true? What are the advantages of no culet vs pointed culet???

They are basically the same thing. Read up on it here.
