Cut and Proportion

The cut of a diamond and the proportioning of the cut - the make - are of extraordinary importance, because they have the greatest influence on the fire (variety and intensity of rainbow colors seen) and brilliance (liveliness or sparkle) of the stone.
We will discuss cut and proportion of the round brilliant cut stone, since this is the most popular cut. It usually displays the stone's qualities to their greatest potential, and is therefore the best "investment" cut.
