Diamond Cut
Diamond Cut
Diamond Cut
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.

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.

When a diamond is cut to proper proportions, 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. Other cuts that prevail are good, fair and poor cut.

Ideal / Excellent Cut:

A very rare and an excellent quality of Diamond.
Diamonds with Ideal / Excellent Cut reflect almost all the light that enters the diamond.

Very Good Cut:

The light reflected is nearly same when compared to Ideal / Excellent Cut Diamond, but attracts lower price compared to Ideal / Excellent Cut Diamonds.

Good Cut:

Nearly reflects most light that enters in. Such diamonds are available at a lower cost thereby making it less pricey compared to the Ideal / Very Good cut Diamonds.

Fair Cut:

A fair cut diamond typically reflects small portion of light, still considered to be a better quality diamond. These diamonds have been cut to maximize the carat weight over most other considerations and are considered better value for money.

Poor Cut:

This diamond is generally a diamond that has been cut too deep or too shallow. When this occurs the diamond will lose significant amounts of light. A major benefit of this type of diamond is the price. A diamond that is a poor cut will be significantly lower in price than any other cut grade.
