DOES AN EXCELLENT DIAMOND CUT REALLY MATTER?
Think you know a lot about the Cut of a Diamond?
THINK AGAIN!
Cut is a fascinating 4C, and it has some very interesting facts about it that makes it a great topic and conversation starter…
So let’s begin…
This is, 5 things you DIDN’T know about Cut!
Starting with shape…
1) Cut is NOT Shape!
The cut of a stone is not Round, Square, Rectangle…
It’s the way a diamond is faceted and proportioned.
It’s the height of the crown, the thickness of the girdle, the depth of the pavilion, as seen in the diamond profile below…
Cut is how the facets are angled to produce cool designs and cutting styles like the Brilliant Cut, Marquise Cut, Princess Cut, Pear Cut, Emerald Cut and Cushion Cut…
So if you ask a salesperson what the cut of the stone is, and they reply “ROUND“, leave and leave quickly!
Because that ain’t gonna cut it!
