Diamond Cut

A diamond's cut is important to reflect the brilliance of the gemstone. When loose diamonds are poorly cut either too deep or too shallow, it does not refract light efficiently, therefore, loosing liveliness.

AGSL only grades round cuts; fancy diamond shapes are marked with an asterisk with relevant information in the comment section. They have a scale from 0-10; 0 the best and 10 being the worst. When figuring out the Cut grade, there are 7 factors; five proportion factors, polish and symmetry.

AGSL Cut Scale:

0 is AGSL Ideal.
1 is AGSL Excellent.
2 is AGSL Very Good.
3 - 4 is AGSL Good.
5-7 is AGSL Fair.
8-10 is AGSL Poor.

When loose diamonds are cut too shallow, the light is lost through the sides. When the diamond is cut too deep, the light escapes through the bottom.

Diamond cut is an important part of diamonds and diamond jewelry because the stone may have beautiful color and clarity, but if it has a Poor or Fair cut, the diamond will appear dull or dark and lack sparkle.

Parts of a diamond are:

Diameter of a diamond is the width measured through the girdle.
Table is the largest facet of the stone.
Crown is the top portion extending from the girdle to the table.
Girdle is the narrow band around the widest portion of the diamond.
Pavilion is the bottom portion from the girdle to the cutlet.
Cutlet is the facet at the tip of the stone.

Depth is the height from the cutlet to the table.
