What is the Diamond Cut Grade?

The cut of a diamond is one of the most important factors to consider when purchasing a diamond. It refers to the diamond's proportions, symmetry, and polish. The cut can greatly affect the diamond's overall beauty, brilliance, and fire.

The GIA Diamond Cut Grade ranges from Excellent to Poor and is based on how well the diamond's facets interact with light to create the desired visual effects. An Excellent cut diamond will have maximum brilliance, fire, and scintillation, while a Poor cut diamond will appear dull and lifeless.

The cut grade takes into account the diamond's proportions, including depth, table percentage, and crown and pavilion angles, as well as the symmetry and polish of the diamond's facets.

A well-cut diamond will reflect light from one facet to another and back to the observer's eye, creating a dazzling display of color and sparkle. A poorly cut diamond will leak light through the bottom or sides, reducing the diamond's overall brilliance and fire.

When shopping for a diamond, it's important to consider the diamond's cut grade along with the other 4 Cs (carat weight, color, and clarity) to determine the best value for your money.
