Not Sure If I Love It or Hate It, JUMBO Culet

[lola_relli]

I personally don't like it. Also, if you have to question it at all, you probably shouldn't go with it!

Well, I hear you all, and I think it is a very odd-looking thing. I looked up trilliants here on PS Education, and a trilliant is usually cut from a flat piece of rough. That explains the "culet"; there just wasn't any more material there.

But this is my confusion; it came up for auction and it was over $2K almost instantly.

So I thought maybe I was missing something.

It reminded me of a Richard Homer stone that I have, which is a "Stargazer" cut. It's cut so at certain angles there appears to be a hole in the stone, and you look inside and see a little sparkly bit. I couldn't get it with the camera, but you put your eyeball up to it and it's like there's a big room in there, it's like Dr Who's tardis. I wish I had a macro camera to show you. So I was open to the idea.

But nothing cool is happening with this one. I don't wanna see my finger that much.

Here's the diamond listing if anyone wants to check it out.

I've seen this happen time and again with Dover Jewelry. I don't get it either. Much their stuff goes for way more than it is worth IMO. Especially for ebay. If one was buying at a retail B&M store I understand but for an online ebay jewelry site it never ceases to amaze me how high some of their jewelry goes for at auction. Some people have too much money and not as much sense lol. Though beauty is in the eye of the beholder so whatever makes one happy.
