They say that an important criterion for gemologists when evaluating a diamond is the cut of the stone. And they are right. Imagine that you are looking at two stones with the same characteristics – both VVS (Very Very Slightly Included), i.e. clean, almost without defects, very small inclusions can be seen only in a microscope. And the shape of the cut is the same. But one of them shines with stellar brilliance, mesmerizes and beckons, and the second one next to it looks like an unattractive poor relative, in which there is neither strength, nor play, nor brilliance, nor, to put it bluntly, special beauty. And it seems to be smaller in size than its luxurious counterpart.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between the “twins”? It lies in the quality of cut, the notorious “ABVG” according to the Russian TU 117-4.2099-2002 and the 4th C (CUT) according to the international GIA system.<\/p>\n

Cut quality<\/h2>\n

What is diamond cut quality and why is it so important? Nature creates a diamond, endowing it with magnificent characteristics that have yet to be seen and revealed. And the cutter acts as Pygmalion, extracting his shining Galatea from a seemingly insignificant white, translucent cobble.<\/p>\n

It is not by chance that a facetter is the most respected profession in the jewelry business. Not every master is allowed to approach quality diamonds. And these royal stones will not be entrusted to him immediately, but only when the diamond cutter has at least 5 years of experience and thousands of carats of cut semi-precious stones.<\/p>\n

A “diamond sculptor” creates a multifaceted prism out of a diamond, in every facet of which light reflects and shines. And it is the skill of the diamond cutter, his ability to reveal the diamond’s ability to reflect light rays, to play, to “burn”, that determines the attractiveness and beauty of the stone. The more skillful the cutter is, the more dazzling the diamond that comes out of his hands. And the higher the characteristics and value of the stone.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that the quality of the cut and its shape are different categories. Any shape – oval, round, rectangular, pear-shaped and others – can have an arbitrary number of facets:<\/p>\n
