Diamond Information
Cut

Cut is the factor most directly influenced by man, everything else is dictated by nature. It is the cut that enables a diamond to make the best use of light. When a diamond is cut to good proportions, light is reflected and refracted from one facet to another and then dispersed through the crown or top of the stone. If the cut is too deep or too shallow, some light escapes through the pavilion or bottom before it can be reflected.
