4Cs |

The only one of the 4Cs that is within our control is a diamond's
cut. Cut is the result of a craftsman’s skill in transforming a rough
diamond into a breathtaking gem. A diamond has facets that allow light
to enter it, become refracted, and exit in a rainbow of colors. So
it follows that a better cut diamond does a better job of dazzling
us with its beauty. Here’s the ‘secret’ to how a diamond sparkles:
As you can see, the diamond with the correct proportions does a more
effective job of refracting light out the top of the stone to your
eye. The less-than-ideal cut diamonds allow some light to become lost
out the bottom. |
