What does diamond cut mean?
The cut of a diamond is widely regarded as the most crucial aspect among the 4Cs. It pertains to how the facets of a diamond interact with light, ultimately determining the coveted sparkle that diamonds are renowned for. The brilliance and sparkle of a diamond hinge on factors such as symmetry, the well-proportioned dimensions of the diamond, and its polish.
The quality of a diamond's cut scrutinizes each tiny surface, known as a facet. A high-quality cut signifies that these facets have been polished with meticulous precision, ensuring they are in the optimal position to reflect the maximum amount of light. Diamond cut grades range from excellent to poor, assessing how well the stone interacts with light.

Are diamond cut and diamond shape different?
This can often be an area that creates confusion, and although these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, diamond shape is different to diamond cut.
Diamond cut assesses how light interacts with a diamond, a higher cut grade is based on a combination of the stones proportions, symmetry, and polish.
Diamond shape is related to the outline or style of a diamond. Our lab-grown diamonds are available in lots of different shapes, including round brilliant, cushion, princess and heart or any Custom shape.
What is the difference between diamond fire, brilliance and scintillation?
‘Fire’ is the colored sparkle visible when the stone is in light, caused by light being broken down into different colors when it enters the diamond. ‘brilliance’ is the colorless light emitted from the stone.
When a diamond has been cut to ideal proportions, the stone will bend, refract and reflect light in a way that maximizes its fire and brilliance.
Scintillation refers to the flashes of light and intense sparkles in a diamond as it moves.
