Is this OEC just a round brilliant with a culet?

[Jujeh]

I'm somewhat interested in this lab diamond ring but I'd like to know if I am right about the cut. To me, it looks like there are chunky 'arrows' rather than a flower petal pattern.

It's supposed to be OEC.

PS: I know this vendor is legit because I've bought moissanite from them before. So that's not really my concern, But just wondering if the cut is weird on these OECs.

Thanks for any help!

Looks photoshopped.

Ahh, yeah, I was kinda just thinking that. Especially in the culet area.

Hmm, probably best to avoid for now ...


Thanks!

Do the pavilion mains drive light return in the modern round brilliant?

Article by Karl K. On many websites you will see it said that the pavilion main facets drive light return. Top labs and many grading systems use the pavilion angle […]

You could ask to see photos or videos of their OEC cut style stones. Profile and top down. If they do a consistent style, they should be able to produce photos/videos. Then share here.

Maybe ask PS members what vendors they are using for old cut lab made stones?

Can you ask for video?

Thanks for posting!

So, I've done some more research on this vendor on Reddit

https://www.reddit.com/r/MoissaniteCreations/comments/1ata6qb/kuololit_round_brilliant_vs_kuololit_oec_see

(This post is about moissanite, but they also offer lab diamonds.)

It seems like this vendor truly does just stick a culet on a brilliant cut and call it OEC. Kinda odd.

I guess uninformed buyers maybe just look for the culet when determining if something is an OEC.

I definitely think I'll be avoiding

edit: the funny thing is that in that Reddit thread, people refer others back to Pricescope

It's like a loop
