CHAPTER 4
Of the 4C’s, cut is the aspect most directly influenced by man. The cut is often mistaken for the shape of a diamond. However, cut actually refers to how precisely the rough stone was shaped, and polished in order to preserve symmetry. The more perfectly proportionate and symmetrical a diamond is the better it will capture light which is then refracted and delivered back to our eyes in a scintillating rainbow of colors that we call, sparkle.
Understanding the parts that make up a diamond is as important as knowing the 4 C's. Think of these elements as engine parts that power the stone. A fine car requires an efficient, powerful engine to propel it forward and this is also true for a diamond. The light-emitting engine that we call the "cut", gives each diamond a unique blueprint of its beauty.
