Cut


The cut of a Diamond is the only property which is totally dependent on man. Although often overlooked, cut is actually one of the most important aspects to consider when choosing your diamond. A Diamond cutter analyzes the rough diamond, and has to determine how to extract the most beauty and most profit out of the rough stone.

Cut refers to not only the shape of the diamonds, but its proportions and finish, factors which determine the sparkle of the diamond.

It is possible to take the same stone, and depending on which method the cutter decides to use, to either cut it into the most beautiful stone it can be despite heavy weight loss and perhaps lower monetary value. Or else, he can cut a stone to its maximum weight and monetary value, but lose some "brilliance" and "sparkle"!

You see, even if you have two equal polished diamonds, both the same carat size, both the same color, both the same clarity, they may look completely different. How? There are many different shapes, and facets in a diamond. The weight can be distributed in different parts of the stone. If you compare a shallow stone to a well-cut stone, you will see the difference in how the well-cut stone "lights up".

By the same token, it is common to see the opposite problem. A stone which is cut too deep will "leak out light" in much the same way as the shallow stone.

This is not to say that a shallow or deep stone is a sign of a poor, or "low-quality" diamond cutter. Sometimes the shape of the rough diamond makes it impractical to cut a stone closer to "ideal" proportions without losing significant weight. But it is important to note the "light leakage" which will result from this cut.

Recently, GIA has published the first report of their 8-year study of the cut of Diamonds, using a 3D model rather than the 2D model in use since the early part of this century. So far, nothing practical has come out of this research, other than making the point that there are definciencies in the 2-Dimensional model, and that there are a great many different angles and proportions which can be just as beautiful as what is accepted as Ideal-Cut today. This point is well known to anyone who has graded many Diamonds.

How much does "cut" affect cost?
The effect of all the different properties of Diamond on Cost is discussed in more detail in the Cost section. For cut, it can vary depending on the quality of the Diamond.
