    Does your diamond cut have maximum carat size and brilliance

    April 19, 2006, 12:21 pm

    An article that delves into the the world of diamond grading, where diamond cut refers to the quality of your jewelry.

    When one hears of diamond cut they usually think of the different kinds of diamond shapes they’ve seen in jewelry, the princess, the round and so on.  In the world of diamond grading diamond cut refers to something else.  It refers to how well a jeweler has cut the diamond to achieve maximum carat size and brilliance, or the millions of glittering sparkles you can see when you turn your diamond in the light. Poorly cut diamonds will often sell at a cheaper rate than the better cut.  Interestingly ninety five percent of diamonds aren’t cut for optimum brilliance. There are four factors involved in the diamond cut, proportion, finish, symmetry and polish.

    The proportions of the cut have to do with the table percentage compared to the depth percentage.  The table is the flat surface on the top of each kind of diamond cut, while the depth has to do with the width of the diamond from top to bottom.  A good table to depth ratio will allow all light entering the diamond to be reflected back through the surface.
