CUT 

The cut of a diamond is extremely important in determining how well light is reflected through it and shouldn’t be confused with the shape of a diamond.  The most brilliant and dazzling diamond, apart from being of good colour and clarity, is always a well-cut stone.

Most diamonds are cut with a full 58 facets and reflect light from one facet to another and then back through the top of the diamond to the observer.  Diamonds that are cut too deeply or too shallow loose their brilliance and can appear dark through their centre.  The skill of the Master Diamond Cutter is therefore paramount in obtaining the perfectly cut stone that exudes reflected light back to your eye in all its dazzling brilliance.

The table below shows how light is reflected through different cut diamonds.
