Cut grading evaluate the appearance of natural diamonds, including their brightness, fire and scintillation/sparkle in addition to the cutting craftsmanship, symmetry, polishing and ratio of diamond facets.
Cut grades - Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair and Poor.
Diamonds are cut into different shapes, round, marquise, oval, pear, heart and emerald the choice is largely a personal preference.
Diamond cutting affect the interaction of light through the facets, which reflect light and disperse the light entering the diamond into colorful colors releasing the ultimate dazzling beauty of natural diamonds.
