I am still curious about the importance of a culet in an Asscher. I hope the experts in this forum will chime in. Thanks.

Don't you think a bigger, open culet might be 'important' in that it provides evidence that it's an older stone?

I love seeing big culets in beautiful old cuts (OMCs and OECs, too)...but probably because they're sort of rustic and charming, not because they're inherently attractive..

(I''m so bad...just can''t resist an excuse to re-post pics of my inherited treasure, circa 1925.
