I think it might be time for some tough love.
People are allowed to buy diamonds that don't meet the "ps approved" specs.
People are allowed to buy VG cut diamonds.
People are allowed to value other Cs over cut.
Cut is King is an opinion, not a fact.
Our job is to educate people and help them make the best decision for them, not for us. (the collective) We understand the desire sacrifice color, clarity and carat. Why then, is it that someone makes a well informed educated decision to sacrifice cut and we jump down their throats? Or worse, make rude comments about their diamond will look like spit and that they are morons because their gia XXX is too deep!
Maybe it's time to take a look the comments we make on posts and try not to force our preferences on other people. Its best to take the time to educate someone as well as understand what the OP actually needs. This means more than just posting the "PS specs " and links to 3 whiteflash diamonds. That goes for color, clarity, cut, and carat. If someone wants a D, even if a G looks very white, let them but a D. If someone wants a clarity enhanced diamond and has gotten informed about them, let them buy that CE diamond. If someone cares about carat than anything else, let them but that small facing asscher. If someone wants a gia XXX that's 62.7% deep because they can't see the difference? By God let them have it.
Like the Kenny's of the world say, people vary. As long as they are making an informed decision, let them make their decision.
Please save the "but cut is the absolute #1 thing that makes a beautiful diamond beautiful" posts for another thread - that's not the point of this thread.
