A diamond’s cut determines a huge part of its value and what kind of price it will fetch in the market. A beautifully done cut on a diamond can spell all the difference between a sparkling, brilliant stone and one that is lackluster and dull. The cut also determines the diamond’s proportions, ability to reflect light, and the symmetry of its facets…all the aspects that contribute to a shining, much-desired diamond whether it’s loose or set in a jewelry piece.
