- The cut of a diamond
refers to its proportions. It is one of the most
important factors to be considered while choosing
your diamond. It is an aspect which is directly
influenced by man. The other three are influenced
totally by nature.
- The cut of a diamond
should not be confused with its shape. Shapes are
cut from the original rough diamond, and whatever
the shape, a well-cut diamond is always better able
to reflect light.
- Diamonds are usually
cut with 58 facets, or separate flat surfaces. These
facets are placed at precise angles to each other.
This relationship is designed to maximize the amount
of light reflected through the diamond and to
increase its beauty.
- Rough stones can be
cut to their maximum weight and monetary value but
loses some "brilliance and "sparkle".
Similarly rough stones can also be cut into the most
beautiful stone, despite heavy weight loss and
lowered monetary value.

| 1
Well Cut : |
|
When a
diamond is cut to proper proportions and light is
reflected from one facet to another and then dispersed
through the top of the stone. Within the well cut
standards are the ideal, excellent and very good
categories.
|
Ideal Cut:
This Cut combines the best in brilliance and fire.
Excellent Cut:
Exhibits great beauty yet with a slight flexibility of
percentages.
Very Good Cut:
This range of cut balances precise proportions and
price considerations.

2 Deep Cut :
|
|
If a diamond
is cut too deep, light escapes through the opposite side
of the pavilion.
|
|
3 Shallow Cut
:
|
|
With a
shallow cut, light escapes through the pavilion before
it can be reflected.
|
|
The cut or proportions of a diamond is measured in
percentages relative to the diameter of its girdle. The
girdle diameter is always considered to be 100%.
Supposing the Girdle diameter is 100%, the table is
5.6mm and the total depth is 6.1mm. Thus the diamond has
a table of 56% and depth of 61%
