Ideal Cut Diamond

WHY IDEAL CUT IS IMPORTANT?

The Importance of Cut

A lot people looking to buy a new diamond are so often confused between diamond cut and diamond shape especially when a regular person hear a diamond expert referring to shapes as if they were a type of cut. Diamond cuts matter greatly! It affects the sparkle of a diamond. More often than not, buyers tend to give much weight on the 3 of the 4 C's (Carat, Color and Clarity) and forget the importance of "4th C", the Cut grade.

A diamond's cut grade pertains to how well a diamond is cut or proportioned. It refers to the symmetry or how symmetrical its sections are. Symmetry & proportions play a crucial role in allowing a diamond to have a proper reflection of light which means  that the light entering from any direction to be totally reflected through the top and dispersed into a gorgeous display of color. If the symmetry, proportions and polish are made perfectly, the diamond will show an excellent sparkle and likely be graded as "Ideal Cut Grade".

In the past, little importance was given to the quality of cut of a diamond. Grading was primarily based on color and clarity. But in the beginning of the 20th century, when optical brilliance was studied further, the forms of diamond cuts developed through trial and error. Year 1910 came when the calculations have been applied which consider the physical and optical properties of a diamond  such as dispersion, light refraction and hardness in order to have a maximum brilliance through an accurate proportions and symmetry. Such style of cut has underwent the longest and highest degree of development  as it started long ago as the first century B.C, and only in the 20th century did it arrive in full maturity in the appearance and characteristics of a round brilliant cut diamond.

Ideal Diamond Cut

Ideal cut diamonds appear the most brilliant where the weight of the diamond is proportional. This means that the top and bottom parts of the stone are very near to the same weight. And with this balanced weight the facets can be aligned (cut) to reflect the light perfectly coming in right back up the top part of the diamond giving a sparkling or fiery look. The factors which contribute to the proportions are girdle diameter, table diameter, total depth, crown height, thickness of the girdle, pavilion depth, angle of the crown facets to the plane of the girdle, and angle of the pavilion facets to the plane of the girdle. The more the cutter deviates from the mathematically correct proportions, the more the brilliance is compromised, and the lower is the quality of the cut. But a slight deviation from precise standards does not bring any loss of brilliance to be examined by a specialist.

Finding an ideal cut grade to a very good cut grade diamond is more significant aspect than any other characteristics of the diamond grading process. All diamond certificates should have a cut grade and we should give a high regard on it.
