Diamond Jewellery
Cut
The cut of a Diamond is the only property which is totally dependent on the jeweller. Often confused with the Diamond’s shape; the cut refers to the arrangement of the diamond’s facets – its proportions, symmetry and finish.
Cut can either enhance or distract from the stone’s natural brilliance. A beautiful cut will release the stone’s radiance and enable light to dance around the stone. It will also limit the imperfections visible in the stone and magnify its beauty.
All cuts are based on scientific formulas to maximize the return of light from the diamond. Proportions and angles influence the internal reflection of light as well as the dispersion of light leaving the diamond. This determines the brilliance and fire (brightness and sparkle) of the diamond, and ultimately its perceived beauty.
