| | CULET
The point which is formed at the very bottom of a diamond's pavilion is often flattened slightly during the cutting process and a facet is placed there.
This facet is called the culet. A culet is cut to protect the diamond from chipping. Some diamonds have a culet and others do not.
Most modern cut diamonds have either a very small culet or no culet at all. Most old European or old mine cut diamonds have a medium to very large culet.
