Diamond Cut

4 C'S
Cut - Clarity - Color - Carat

Diamond Cut:

The most important fact in the 4 C's, is the source of Brilliance and Fire.

Cut means The proportions and finish of a polished diamond. Cut affects both the weight yield from rough and the optical efficiency of the polished stone; the more successful the cutter is in balancing these considerations, the more valuable the stone will be.A Diamond with a proportion of good cut allowed the light to go through the table reaches the facets and reflect so well back evenly in the face up position, with no dark areas, all the facets are exactly where they should be and polished until they gleam. Ideal cut is all about having the right proportions, precise symmetry, and a fine polish.


	Shallow Cut Diamond leaks the light out of the bottom. Brilliance is lost and the diamond appears glassy. A very shallow cut stone will seem dark as the light exits the back of the stone, the angles not reflecting the light back up through the top of the stone to your eye. The Light in Deep Cut Diamond escapes from the bottom causing the diamond to appear dull and lifeless. Looking Through a Deep Stone you'll notice a black reflection in the center of the table.

Pavilion
The lower portion of the diamond, below the girdle. The height of the pavilion greatly contributes to the diamond's overall brilliance.

Depth
