How does a diamonds cut influence its value?
We believe that a diamond’s cut is the single most important aspect affecting its beauty and quality. A finely cut diamond balances both a high level of brilliance (intensity of reflected white light) and dispersion (rainbow of colors). Many of us have wondered why a larger diamond, worn by someone we know, failed to “talk” and sparkle very much. Chances are that the diamond cutter focused on retaining extra carat weight, rather than on releasing the gem’s inner beauty.
