Choosing a Diamond (cont.)

 

A Diamond Cut refers to the angles and proportions of a diamond.

Based on scientific formulas, a well-cut diamond will internally reflect light from one mirror-like facet to another and disperse and reflect it through the top of the stone. This results in a display of brilliance and fire, thereby placing well-cut diamonds in a higher price range than deep or shallow-cut diamonds. Diamonds that are cut too deep or too shallow lose or leak light through the side or bottom, resulting in less brilliance and ultimately, value.

 

There are various opinions held by different countries as to which is best, therefore an optimum cut diamond in one country my not be considered so in another. An example is the TOLKOVSKI cut or American ideal cut as opposed to the EPPLER or European cut.

 

Both cuts are more desireable than a stone cut purely for weight,resulting in loss of brilliance.
