The Cut is the only element which is entirely controlled by man. A Diamond can be cut for maximum weight recovery or maximum brilliance and beauty. A great Cut will showcase your Diamond’s natural brilliance and allow light to dance around the stone.
Cut not only refers to the shape and style of the Diamond but also to the proportions, symmetry and finish or ‘make’. Scientific formulas are used by Jewellers to maximise the return the light throughout the Diamond. The proportions and angles of the cut allow the internal reflection of light as well as the dispersion of light leaving the Diamond. This light activity will determine the Diamond’s brilliance and fire – i.e. it’s sparkle and shine.
When considering the Diamond Cut, it is ultimately your taste and style which will determine the best choice for you.
