However, if the bottom facet is too large, all the light incident on the bottom facet from the front will leak out of the diamond, and it will appear as a small dark window when viewed from the front, which will have a negative impact on the appearance. The purpose of cutting the bottom facet is to protect the tip of the pavilion.

The culet is the smallest facet of all the facets in a diamond and has less effect on the diamond's brilliance. However, if the bottom facet is too large, all the light incident on the bottom facet from the front will leak out of the diamond, and it will appear as a small dark window when viewed from the front, which will have a negative impact on the appearance. The purpose of cutting the bottom facet is to protect the tip of the pavilion.
The modern method of cutting diamonds is to not cut the culet but to leave a point culet. The dotted culet is easily damaged, forming a small white break, which is also very bad for the diamond. Therefore, it is reasonable to reserve a bottom facet of a suitable size. The bottom facet must achieve the purpose of not affecting the appearance and protecting the tip of the pavilion. This bottom facet should be invisible or difficult to see with the naked eye.
When visually evaluating, the table top faces upwards, the line of sight is vertical to the table top, and the bottom surface can be divided into the following six grades according to the size.
(1) Spot shape: the absolute diameter is less than 0.04mm, and it appears as small white spots under a 10x magnifying glass, which is invisible to the naked eye.
(2) Very small: the absolute diameter is less than 0.12mm, the outline is difficult to distinguish under a 10x magnifying glass, and it is invisible to the naked eye.
(3) Small: The absolute diameter is within 0.13~0.18mm, and the octagonal outline can be seen under a 10x magnifying glass, but invisible to the naked eye.
(4) Medium: The absolute diameter is within 0.19~0.24mm, and the octagonal facets can be seen under a 10x magnifying glass, which can be seen with the naked eye.
(5) Large: The absolute diameter ranges from 0.25 to 0.38mm, and the small surface of the bottom is obvious under a 10x magnifying glass, and an octagon can be seen with the naked eye.
(6) Very large: the absolute diameter is greater than 0.38mm, the bottom surface is obvious under a 10x magnifying glass, and the octagon is easy to see with the naked eye.

Why Are Large-Size Single-Crystal Diamond Heat Sinks Manufactured Using a Mosaic Assembly Process?
In the packaging design of 5G RF power amplifiers, automotive VCSEL radars, high-performance AI chips, and high-power industrial lasers, large-area single-crystal diamond heat sinks measuring 35 mm or larger are an essential requirement. Most procurement and thermal design engineers ask the same question: Why do 25×25 mm single-crystal heat sinks on the market tend to use a mosaic assembly structure? This is not due to a simplification of manufacturing processes, but rather because of unavoidabl

CVD Diamond: Growing Diamonds for the Future
When people talk about diamonds, the first thing that comes to mind is usually luxury jewelry. But today, diamond is becoming much more than a gemstone. With the rapid development of AI, semiconductors, 5G, and high-power electronics, diamond is attracting attention as an advanced material because of its exceptional thermal properties.

What Are Treated Diamonds? From Technology, Differences to Identification
In the diamond consumer market, one question is being asked by more and more buyers: "Is the colour of this diamond natural, or has it been treated?" So what exactly is a treated diamond? How is it "treated"? And how can consumers identify and judge it?

The Metamorphosis of Diamond: From Jewelry to a Cornerstone of Technology—Three Key High-Tech Applications of CVD Single-Crystal Diamond Wafers
When you hear the word "diamond," what comes to mind first? Is it dazzling diamond jewelry, or the romantic vow that "a diamond is forever"? In reality, diamond is making a major breakthrough in the realms of industry and technology—demonstrating its value in a truly "hardcore" way. Thanks to its status as the hardest material in nature, its exceptional thermal conductivity, and its broad optical transparency (spanning from ultraviolet to infrared), CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) single-crystal
