Diamond Cut

The cut of a diamond is one of the most important diamond characteristic as it provides the diamond with its unique sparkle and brilliance. The cut of a diamond allows the maximum amount of light to enter and leave the diamond. Of the Four Cs, the cut is the only value factor that is a result of human skill. It refers to the angles and proportion of a diamond, as well as its polish and precision of faceting. Often the cut of a diamond is mistakenly referred to as the shape (round, pear, oval, etc.) of the stone.
