Cut is King — The Secret to Diamond Sparkle
Whether you choose lab-grown or simulated, cut determines brilliance, fire, and scintillation.
What is Diamond Cut?
Diamond cut refers to how well a stone’s facets interact with light. It’s not the shape— it’s the precise proportions, symmetry, and polish that unlock maximum sparkle.
Brightness
How much white light the stone returns to your eye.
Fire
Dispersion of light into vivid rainbow flashes.
Scintillation
The sparkle you see as the stone, light, or viewer moves.
