Understanding Diamond Cut 101

By Mark Beckett


The four C's of buying the precious stone for a diamond engagement ring are Clarity, Colour, Carat and Cut.

The cut is the fourth C of picking diamonds and probably the most perplexing to comprehend. This is exactly the part where you question "Does it truly matter?" Hmm...Yes it does! Quite a lot.

It is vital to understand that cut of diamonds are more than the external shape of these precious stones. The cut also refers to how the diamond mirrors the light. Have you noticed when individuals relate to somebody's diamond ring as "blinding"? They are merely describing the diamond's cut. The "blinding light" works when light gets into the diamond through the stone's flat, called as "the table". The light then travels to the stone's bottom, which is known as the "pavilion". The light reflects from one face to the other, prior to being sent back the stone's base and then to the eyes of the person who sees it.

The criteria of any cut is significant for appraising the value of the ring. That is why the grading system was put in place in order to make it a lot easier to buy a diamond ring; this way, you will not end up paying an excessive amount of money for the diamond engagement ring you have selected. The perfect diamond ring is obviously at the very top of the grading system, which is followed by:

* Premium cut * Very good cut * good cut * Poor cut

An ideal diamond cut is simply well-known for its light reflecting feature. Perfect diamonds are renowned for their smaller tables and project complete brilliance! These expensive diamonds are MERELY available in rounded shapes and send off light that could be pretty blinding. The premium cut diamonds are quite identical to the perfect cut diamonds and are a lot less expensive. They are accessible in many other shapes too. The very great and good cuts are incredibly great and are a lot easier on the pocket.

The important feature to consider when purchasing these varieties of diamonds is not the brilliance that they project, but the size. The diamonds are bigger and even though the reflective qualities are great, the sizes are quite a bit off. As pointed out previously, the very good and the good cut diamonds are not as costly as the perfect and premium cuts; they are yet deemed to be excellent investments. A poor cut diamond is often bought by those who are a lot more concerned about the size and the carat weight of the diamond than the quality of the precious stone.
