My 2 cents on cut

[ringster]

Just my tip for anyone out there buying a diamond.  Don't compromise on the cut.  It seems to be the most abused of the 4 C's.  Everyone wants a big diamond to show off and end up compromising on cut to be able to get it.

For me cut is a big part of what makes a diamond shine in the light.  When I bought a ring for my girlfriend I got ideal cut.

Thank for a great advice ringster and i agree with  you that cut is one factor of what makes a diamond shine.
