Diamond cut is one of the 4Cs of diamonds and refers to the arrangement of a diamond’s facets. It affects the way the diamond’s surface interacts with and catches light and determines its overall brilliance. Cut will have the greatest impact on a diamond’s overall beauty and value.

Diamond cut often gets confused with diamond shape, but they are two different things. Shape refers to a diamond’s outward, physical form. It’s the most distinguishable feature of a diamond. Diamond cut refers to a diamond’s facets, symmetry, and dimensions. It describes the way a diamond reflects light.

To evaluate the quality of a diamond’s cut, a trained gemologist uses diamond grading. They assess how light enters and exits each diamond to determine its cut grade. VRAI created diamonds are cut to perfection by our expert craftspeople to achieve maximum brilliance and proudly backed by our Lifetime Warranty and our Diamond Value Guarantee.

Cut is the only one of the 4Cs that is directly affected by humans. Clarity, color, and even carat weight are influenced by a rough diamond, but cut quality is determined after polishing. A high-quality cut invites maximum light for breathtaking brilliance, fire, and scintillation and influences how large, brilliant, and lustrous your diamond appears. Cut can make lower-color-grade diamonds shine brighter or cause a nearly-flawless diamond to appear dull. It is considered by many as the most important C to pay attention to.
