Diamond Cut

Diamond cut refers to both the shape of a diamond and the quality of workmanship that determines its facets, symmetry, and reflective qualities.

Part of speech: noun
Definition: The term 'diamond cut' not only pertains to the geometric shape in which a diamond is fashioned, such as round, oval, or princess, but also to the precision of the cut within those shapes, which significantly impacts its sparkle and brilliance. A well-cut diamond will be able to reflect more light, giving it a more dazzling appearance. Factors such as the angles, proportions, symmetry, and polish of the diamond's facets play a critical role in the cut quality. The cut of a diamond is considered one of the most critical aspects in evaluating a diamond's beauty and value, alongside color, clarity, and carat weight. Expertly cut diamonds can maximize light return from the top of the stone, resulting in greater sparkle and attractiveness.
