Diamond Cut

Cut is often considered the most important of the four C's.

This is because the cut of a diamond determines its brilliance (the amount of light reflected).

When rough diamonds are mined, they emerge in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Highly skilled diamond cutters then cut and polish these stones to remove flaws and inclusions (tiny particles) – ideally taking out as many as possible while still preserving as much of the diamond retaining its brillance.

At Solomon Brothers, we cut and polish our own diamonds to ensure greater quality. Our cutters use sophisticated computerized systems to measure the light-reflecting qualities of our stones and create superior brilliance.




Too Shallow	Too Deep	Ideal Cut

If a diamond's cut is too shallow, the light that enters the diamond will leak out of the bottom.	If a diamond's cut is too deep, the light will reflect out of the side.	An "ideal" cut will reflect the maximum amount of light through the top of the diamond - created a radiant sparkle that travels straight back to the viewer's eye.
