Diamond Cut

Avital & Co.

If you can imagine it, we’ll create it since 1957

Diamond Cut

The first of the 4C's that Avital and Co., located in the heart of the world famous Diamond District in New York City (NYC), recommends you should take into consideration when looking to purchase your diamond is the cut. The reason for this is that the cut of the diamond has the greatest influence over the beauty of your diamond and will determine what we refer to as sparkle.

 

Diamond Cuts

 

The cut of the diamond is in reference to the diamond's balance of symmetry, proportion, and polish, which is achieved by the diamond cutter. When your diamond is ideally cut, the diamond will shine and sparkle because the cut allows the light to travel through your diamond and exit in an heirloom radiance of a colorful rainbow. If the diamond is cut too deep, light escapes out the side of the diamond and if cut to shallow, light escapes out the bottom of the diamond. Both of these poor cuts will cause the diamond to appear dull, lifeless and thus will not have a radiant sparkle.

The cut also determines the shape of the diamond. The most popular shape is called round brilliant. Other diamond shapes are asscher, emerald, oval, marquise, pear, radiant, princess, heart, cushion, baguette, and trillion. Some of the less popular diamond cuts are bullets, trapezoid, and half-moon. Click Diamond Shapes and Cuts for more information.
