This is where all of the 58 facets of the diamond come together. This 'point' is usually the bottom section of every stone. This results in a cutting point at the finger (skin), causing constant pain.
In past decades, these Culets were removed by having them 'polished off'.
No matter the size or shape of the stone, every gemstone has these culets created. If not, there wouldn't be any brilliance or shine to the stone.
Culets appear on every stone, including a CZ or even a synthetic stone.
You can see this Culet protruding through the bottom of the ring.
No matter the absolute stone colour, these Culets have one thing in common...they are sharp.
Under extreme magnification, these Culets appear to be damaged, and the points are 'broken off'.
Under 'normal' circumstances, Culets should never protrude beyond the bottom of any ring.
This gemstone had one error in its construction; the ring was created too thin. This led to a pointed Culet protruding through the bottom of the metal.
