>     With all due respect diamonds do not have see-through areas

    I wonder if we're on different pages here. True, typically a diamond
    does not have see thru as described (except god awful makes!).
    However on any profile that has a point, be it princess or pear or
    marquis, its not uncommon for the adjacent prong to reflect/refract 
(I
    guess its actually both) into the stone, depending on the aspect
    you're viewing it from. 

    I think you are both correct but you're not talking about exactly
    the same thing, which can happen on webboards since they rely
    strictly on text. 

    Oh and I looked at the site for the quad. I think they overstate the
    dark corner effect on the standard princess.
