How a Diamond Handles Light

It is the cut that enables a diamond to make the best use of light. When a diamond is cut to good proportions (1), light is internally reflected from one facet to another and then dispersed through the crown or the top of the stone.

If the cut of the diamond is too deep, (2) some light escapes through the opposite side of the pavilion or bottom.

If the cut is too shallow (3 ), light escapes through-out the pavilion or bottom before it can be reflected.

Of all the 4C's, cut is the one most directly influenced by humans. The other three are dictated by nature. The cut or make of a diamond will dramatically influence its fire and sparkle, for it is the polisher's skill that releases its beauty.
