Conversations about a diamond will bring up such terms as table, crown, girdle, pavilion and culet. So what exactly are these?
Table: The flat top of the stone, the largest facet which is also called "face"
Crown: The upper part of the stone between the table and the girdle.
Girdle: The edge where the crown and pavilion meet. This is where usually is grasped by the prongs in a setting.
Pavilion: The part from the girdle to the bottom point of the stone.
Culet: The lowest part of the stone, the bottom point.
