Those are the ivory diamonds. The large upper ones will go into the buttsleeve and the smaller ones are going into the points.

Enjoy!
 
You better have those diamonds cut sharp before you go and wreck a nice cue.

How exactly would that wreck it? I guess opinions may differ.

Since the points and veneers on the cue are sharp, it will look better if those ivory diamonds were cut sharp. The points on the diamonds are rounded....
 
rounded inlays

arghhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!

a cue with such attractive points, veneers, and rings deserves to have sharp cut inlays. i can't stand it when cuemakers just drop in those rounded a$$ diamonds. it screams lazy. i would rather see no inlays at all.

of course this is just my opinion.

seems Jimbo and I agree on something :)

This is probably the only thing I will ever agree with Jimbo on regarding cue design. :) You cannot have sharp points and have rounded inlay corners. Sorry guys, in ebony you need to make the effort. A diamond is a four sided shape, not 8. Those diamonds only belong on Schons, Joss, Pechaurs and cues like that.
