Please can we talk about cut.
Here's a comparison that shows the diamond in the three scenarios.
I do not shine lights into the back of diamonds. EVER.
But I do notice that diamonds to indeed pick up light from the bottom.
Even in the setting.
Even in a bezel, but more so in open type settings.
Part of taking a good photo is getting a lot of light on the subject.
So, while I don't shine any light into the diamond, there's a lot of light all around.
The reason this is relevant is leakage, and it's roll in sparkly type diamonds, AKA crushed ice.
No one seems to want to touch this aspect of the discussion.
LEAKAGE IS GOOD.
ETA- Leakage can be good
