What is diamond Cut?Updated 2 months ago

Diamond cut assesses how well the diamond cutter has taken a diamond rough and shaped all of the angles and facets of the diamond to create the beautiful stones that we see today. 

A diamond’s cut is one of the most important factors that affect how visually beautiful the diamond is to look at. In particular, the depth, angles and faceting of a diamond will determine how well it refracts the light that enters it, and, therefore, how it sparkles!

A specific cut grading is only issued for round diamonds and does not apply to any other shape. However this can still be assessed by considering the proportions of other diamond shapes, its polish and symmetry, and especially assessing the light performance of the diamond itself in person or via video.
