Diamond Tip Learning
- Cut is the most important, and least understood, factor of the 4C's.
- 97.5% of a diamond's brilliance is controlled by the
quality of it's cut:
- proportions
- polish
- symmetry of it's facets
- Precision cutting is necessary to release the beauty of a diamond. The brilliance, fire, and scintillation that make diamonds so desirable is the result of how skillfully a diamond is cut.
- Antwerp cutters are world-famous, producing 80% of true excellent cut round diamonds.
- CGL certified 'Hearts and Arrows' are the top excellent cuts.
- Well-cut, properly polished and proportioned diamonds will be
brilliant throughout the stone and will refract rainbow like colors, even in a dimly lit room. Poorly cut diamonds will refract
only white light, or appear dull and lifeless and often have dark or
washed-out areas that allow to see through the bottom of the stone. A
diamond that has been cut too deep will often have a dark center a 'nailhead'.
