Diamond cut Guide

The cut of a diamond is the most important factor affecting its sparkle and brilliance. While carat measures weight and color refers to whiteness, cut determines how beautifully a diamond reflects light.

Diamond cut refers to how well a diamond has been shaped and faceted from its rough form. A well-cut diamond reflects light internally and returns it through the top, creating exceptional brilliance.

A poorly cut diamond may appear dull, even if it has high color and clarity.

• Excellent – Maximum sparkle and brilliance

• Very Good – Strong brilliance with minor light loss

• Good – Good sparkle but less brilliance

• Fair – Noticeable light leakage

• Poor – Dull appearance
