Diamond Cut
The cut of a diamond determines its sparkle.
The cut of a diamond refers to the shape of the stone and its dimensions, angles, symmetry, faceting and polish. It takes a master craftsperson to release the maximum brilliance, fire and sparkle of the diamond. The highest standard Cut for a diamond is an “Ideal Cut”. A diamond achieves this rating based on light performance, finish and proportions.
Facets are the polished, flat surfaces on a diamond. The arrangement of the facets gives a diamond its brilliance.
