Answer: Cut is considered the most important characteristic contributing to the beauty and value of a diamond. Brilliance of a diamond is determined by the cut, because it is the cut that affects the way light travels through the stone, how much is reflected back to the eye, and how much "leaks" out.
» A well-cut diamond will have lots of brilliance and liveliness.
» A poor cut results in light leakage dulling the brilliance and making the diamond look life-less.
» A lower cut grade diamond costs substantially less than the higher cut grades.This does not necessarily mean that only an excellent cut diamond will have the perfect sparkle. Rather, if you are looking at getting good value for your money, choose 'Very Good' or 'Good' cut grades that showcase the mesmerizing beauty of a diamond without letting you spend a fortune. Don't let anyone confuse you that cut refers to the shape. Shape refers to the physical form or contour of the stone. And cut determines how well is the shape executed.
