The
Ideal Cut
When a round brilliant diamond has been cut to "Ideal"
proportions by a master cutter, it is a splendor to behold. The Ideal
cut diamond describes a round brilliant diamond that has been cut to
exact mathematically proven proportions. It's symmetry, with 58 exactly
placed facets, produces the ultimate in luster and beauty. When a
diamond is cut to Ideal proportions, all of the light entering from any
direction is totally reflected through the top and is dispersed in to a
display of sparkling flashes and rainbow colors.
Inferior Cut
When a diamond is cut too deep, light leaks out of the bottom,
brilliance is lost and the center of the diamond will appear to be dark.
When a diamond is cut too shallow, light leaks out of the bottom, and
the diamond appears watery, glassy, and dark.

the light in the diamond
