Cut refers to the quality of how well a diamond has been cut. It is a measure of how well a diamond’s proportions, symmetry, and polish interact with light.

A well-cut stone is very important, and can maximize sparkle, obscure inclusions, and offer a stone as equally stunning as a lower-clarity stone. A poorly cut stone will ruin even a flawless diamond, and make it muddy and lifeless!

Different diamond shapes also disperse light differently, and allow you to choose the amount of brilliance and sparkle your diamond has. For example, a Radiant diamond has a high level of sparkle because of all the facets within the cut that reflect more light from many angles. It is a great choice for a lower Clarity stone, and helps obscure inclusions from the naked eye.
