Hello
I'm learning about OEC / Transitional diamonds and had the chance to try a few on today.
I have discovered something that I don't like about them, but don't know the correct terminology to explain it and was wondering if you could help please.
In the attached picture, you can see a small cicircular "window" in the centre of the centre stone. Where you can see straight through the stone to my skin. Is this the culet? And is it larger the more open it is?
I seem to prefer stones that have this as an almost pin point, similar to the links below found on Grace's website. Is there a better way to explain this?
Thanks so much. Appreciate your help.
