Diamond Cut

 

Diamond's cuts is the most important factor that determines its price, so it is important to understand how this quality affects the properties and values of a diamond.

A good cut gives a diamond its brilliance, which is that brightness that seems to come from the very heart of a diamond. The angles and finish of any diamond are what determine its ability to handle light, which leads to brilliance.

As you can see in the image below, when a diamond is well-cut, light enters through the table and travels to the pavilion where it reflects from one side to the other before reflecting back out of the diamond through the table and to the observer's eye. This light is the brilliance, and it's this flashing, fiery effect that makes diamonds so mesmerizing and desirable.
