A Cut Above the Rest
When embarking on your search for loose diamonds, one of the first decisions you’ll need to make is choosing the cut you prefer. The cut of a diamond refers to its proportions, including length, depth, and width. While discussions often focus on carat weight and clarity, the cut plays a pivotal role in determining a diamond's value?"contributing to about one-third of its price.
There are ten distinct cuts and shapes for loose diamonds: radiant, round, emerald, heart, Asscher, marquise, cushion, oval, pear, and radiant cut. Among these, the round cut is the most popular due to its exceptional brilliance and light dispersion. Although other cuts may not match the round cut in brilliance, they offer unique styles. The princess cut, for example, stands out among the more intricate designs.
Shapes like trillion, quadrillion, and baguette add further variety. Cuts such as the princess, emerald, quadrillion, baguette, and radiant are variations of squares and rectangles. Their differences lie in style and the number of facets. Baguette and emerald cuts are known as step cuts because their facets are polished in parallel rows, resembling steps on a diamond.
In contrast, the princess, radiant, and quadrillion cuts have numerous facets, providing dispersion and brilliance similar to the round cut. Radiant cut diamonds, featuring 70 facets, combine elements of both emerald and round cuts. Designed by Henry Grossbard in 1977, the radiant cut offers options in either a square or rectangular form.
The trillion cut is a triangular shape with 50 facets, offering brilliant sparkle. A similar but slightly inferior quality diamond is the trilliant.
By understanding these cuts and their unique characteristics, you can make an informed decision, ensuring that the diamond you choose is truly a cut above the rest.
