The Quality of a Diamond: Cut, Colour, Clarity, Carat-weight
|
It is the cut that enables a diamond to make the best use of light.
- When a diamond is cut to good proportions, light is reflected from one facet to another and then dispersed through the top of the stone.
- If the cut of the diamond is too deep, some light escapes through the opposite side of the pavilion.
- If the cut is too shallow, light escapes through the pavilion before it can be reflected.
The shape of the diamond, however, is largely a matter of personal preference and does not affect the value per se.
