Diamonds


  There are four unique characteristics of a diamond to consider.  Learn about them below.
 



CUT -
Refers to the angles and proportions of a diamond.

Everything about a diamond is determined by nature. The stone’s true brilliance, fire and ultimate beauty are a result of a master cutter’s work. Diamonds that are cut too deep or too shallow leak or lose light through the side or bottom, resulting in less brilliance and ultimately, value.

A good cut is essential to a diamond's beauty, because even a diamond with outstanding color and clarity will not display the glitter that diamonds are famous for if its components don't interact with light as they should.  Of all the characteristics, the cut is most important.  If you are given an offer on a diamond that seems like a great deal, pay special attention to the proportions of the cut.
