    Yes, I know what you are saying Richard. Leonid also pointed out the
    same, but I have seen top notch diamonds next to ordinary diamonds
    but I know what I like. The beauty of a diamond is "the relationship
    of the white light, brilliance, that is apparent from the light that
    is returned to the observer from the top, or table facet, and the
    dispersion that is light that returns from the crown facets" to you
    because that's what you were taught. That doesn't mean that that is
    the definition for everyone. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
    after all. You cannot tell me or anyone else what to like. I like
    what I like. Yes I could walk into a good quality independent
    jeweller's shop and be shown diamonds side by side and be told what
    you have told me but I don't like what people tell me to like. I
    like what I like simple as that. 

    Just because I am new to the world of jewellery making and still
    have a vast amount to learn, doesn't mean that I know nothing. I know
    what shapes I like and don't like. I love: round brilliant, oval,
    pear, marquise, emerald/octogan, trillion, barion, radiant and of
    course princess and probably a few more that I can't think of off the
    top of my head. I hate: old mine (very ugly indeed), Asscher, heart
    and again probably a few more. My tastes are instinctive and don't
    tend to change dependent on what someone tells me. 

    When shopping for clothes (which incidentally I can't stand doing
    and would rather do it online), if something jumps out at me in the
    first shop, and I love it, I buy it and go home. I will NOT troll
    through shop after shop "just in case I see anything better" because
    every time I've done that on the insistence of my sister for example,
    I NEVER find anything I like more and end up going back to the first
    shop to buy the item I liked initially - a complete waste of time.
    The same goes for diamond shapes and whether or not I like a piece
    of jewellery. If I like it I'll always like it. If I don't I never
    will. 

    This is getting a pointless argument which is one of pure taste and
    personal opinion btw.
