The cut of a diamond does not refer to the shape of a diamond, but rather to the proportions and arrangements of its facets and workmanship quality. This determines the amount of brilliance, sparkle and fire.
The cut of a diamond, more than anything else, determines the value and quality of a diamond. The cut has three principal effects on a diamond.
Brilliance – this is the brightness created by when white light reflects from the surface and the inside of a polished diamond. This Diamond Pave Band would show off your brilliance as well.
Sparkle – this is the flashes of light when a diamond is moved. You know, the little sparkles that we all fall in love with.
Fire – this is the flashes of the different colors that you see in a diamond.

A well cut diamond loses more of the rough diamond during the cutting process, resulting in a higher market value and superiority of the stone. Improperly cut diamonds might be bigger in size but will not be a Brilliant cut, not only will they have less visual appeal but also reduced value. For instance, a diamond cutter may have a rough stone, which, if cut to perfect proportions would produce a diamond weighing 0.85c. The cutter could instead cut the same rough diamond improperly, making it now weigh 1.0c, displaying reduced Brilliance. The cutter or the jeweler can now make the consumer believe that they are getting a better bargain by offering a 1.0c improperly cut diamond for the same price as a 0.85c Brilliant cut diamond.

A Brilliant cut diamond is a term used to provide customers with a general assessment of the cut to simplify shopping for the perfect diamond jewelry. At LaNae Fine Jewelry you can be assured that we only supply our customers with the best, Brilliant Cut diamonds.
