Hello Folks,



I am seriously considering contacting Webster’s to see if they will enter a new word to describe hypochondria for first time diamond buyers, so I may better describe my condition

Really...this is a great first choice! The D color will have a nice price premium on it, but it should be an excellent stone!
 
Perfect! Seriously. And a D on top of it all.

You''ve done a great job.
 
WOW!!!! Pictures are a MUST!!!!

Sounds great!!
 
If it has a pointed cutlet lookind down at the diamond when the diamond is face up will make it look like it''s hollow. Cutlet should be minimal to none. If you can live with a diamond that looks hollow ok. It''s not hollow but the cutlet makes it look that way which is why cutlet is undesirable.

That's not true. I've seen diamonds with pointed culets and I've never seen one of them that looks hollow like that.
 
Culet not cutlet my appologies. The other specs look amazing, can you find a stone that good with a culet rating of "none"?

I always thought that "pointed" or "none" were desirable culets.............

Yes. That''s what I''ve been made to understand too.

I think Elagabalus that you are wrong.

Yeah, I''ve noticed that too.

Elagabalus. I just checked... according to the diamond experts at Whiteflash Pointed culet and None mean the same thing.

Here''s the link, for your edification.

Call your jeweller. No culet. Pointed culet is not desirable.

This is from Bluenile.com

Culet:

Culet

The facet at the tip of the pavilion of a gemstone. The preferred culet is not visible with the unaided eye (graded "none" or "small").

AND this is from www.diamondsonweb.com

Culet:
The culet refers to the very bottom of the diamond, at the base of the pavilion. In older European-cut diamonds this facet can been seen, when you look straight down through the table of the diamond. It will look like the diamond has a hole in the middle. The preferred stone has no culet or a very small culet.

For more information on diamonds read DoW’s 4C’s on diamond information.



I highly suggest that you dont listen to someone who is trying to SELL you a diamond. Pointed culet being a good thing hahah how absurd.
 
No one is trying to sell this person this diamond.

I highly suggest that you educate yourself on this forum, it''s rules, and it''s occupants. You have, time and time again, posted incorrect information on this forum. Perhaps it is you, not the other members on here... that is the problem.
 
You''ve gone off topic. You tend to do that.

Let''s stick to the topic at hand, which is culet.

Again you are jumping to conclusions without reading carefully. This is a round brilliant. Not an ''older european-cut'' diamond. In a ROUND BRILLIANT a pointed culet is, in effect, the same as a none.
 
Next you''ll tell me that I and J coloured diamonds are quality stones.
 
I just read through some old PS thread re: culet
Both John Q and Oldminer (dave atlas) has stated in other posts that pointed and none are basically the same thing.......(you wouldn''t want a LARGE culet on a modern round brilliant)
 
Pointed means that there is NO facet at the bottom of the stone!

Ideal cut I or J diamonds are quality stones. They are priced lower than higher color stones because higher color stones are more rare. Color has to do with personal preference. I''d rather have an ideal cut I color stone than a D good cut stone anyday.

According to whom? The ONE jeweler you spoke to who is 1) "all about integrity" and 2) trying to sell you HIS own non-ideal cut "F" color S12 stones rather the "internet" stone you originally asked him if he''d set?

Ya know what''s priceless? Being debt free.

That would be an elegant and beautiful setting, Steel! Some girls here do have similar settings to that, so hopefully they will chime in! I''d encourage you to be sure there is a little metal at the bottom to allow for sizing, though.
 
That''s a gorgeous setting!!!
