This is interesting.
Check out this auction for 2c diamond earrings on eBay from Shenoa. If you click on the middle image where it says ''click to enlarge'' for the closeup picture, it looks as though you can see the arrows pretty clearly in the stone. Does this mean that the earrings are well-cut or at least that their cut is better than the average earring? Obviously there is no more info than the regular color/clarity/ctw as is typical for an eBay auction, but I was just curious as some of their other auctions have similar pictures. Closeups of non-wellcut stones on other eBay auctions do not yield the arrows it seems.
I''ve often wondered what the closeups of stones mean when you can see arrows pretty clearly. The ones where I have been able to view arrows easily in closeups are mostly H&A stones or similar. Is that a rule of thumb or just a factor of the enlargement?
