Our Diamond Cuts
A most important ingredient in diamond earrings.

The Diamond cut is perhaps the most important of the four Cs, so it is important to understand how this quality affects the properties and values of a diamond. A good cut gives a diamond its brilliance, which is that brightness that seems to come from the very heart of a diamond. The angles and finish of any diamond are what determine its ability to handle light, which leads to brilliance.

As shown in the images below, when a diamond is well-cut, light enters through the table and travels to the pavilion where it reflects from one side to the other before reflecting back out of the diamond through the table and to the observer's eye. This light is the brilliance we mentioned, and it's this flashing, fiery effect that makes diamonds so mesmerizing.

In a poorly cut diamond, the light that enters through the table reaches the facets and then 'leaks' out from the sides or bottom of the diamond rather than reflecting back to the eye. Less light reflected back to the eye means less brilliance.

The brilliant cut diamond is the most common cut. The standard round brilliant cut or "ideal cut" as it is so properly named has 58 facets.The "Brilliant style" was designed to provide maximum brilliance and fire to the diamond. The diamond must be cut with exacting proportions to reveal its potential dazzling beauty.

At DiamondEarrings.com, we take great pride in the cut of our diamonds. Since we specialize in diamond earrings,we make certain that the proportions of the diamonds are such that they fall within "Ideal" parameters.

It is important that a diamond has good balance and good symmetry, that the percentage of the table (the top of the diamond) falls within a proper relationship with the depth of the gem. Then when these factors come together it is easy to say "that is a beautiful diamond."

We feel that you will find as thousands of our customers have found that the cut of the diamonds at DiamondEarrings.com falls within the ideal range characterisitc of fine diamonds.
