Ideal cut
An ideal cut diamond has a flawless shine. It has perfect angles, cut to ideal proportions, and has excellent quality of polish and symmetry. An ideal cut diamond should reflect almost all of the light entering it. The ideal cut diamond is taken as the standardized benchmark for all other types of diamonds.
The Table Width of an Ideal Cut diamond should be between 55% and 57%.
Ideally cut diamonds are optimally proportioned to refract and reflect the light falling on them. This produces the fire and brilliance that makes a diamond of first-class quality.
Characteristics of ideal cut diamonds
An ideal cut is officially diamond cut quality. Do not clearly believe the jewelers who say there is no ideal cut and show you GIA certificates as examples, and ask this question…
If what you say is true, then why is the table of 2 GIA certified stones with the same features cheaper than the table value of 61% and the table value of 56% from the same seller? Both are 2.00 ct, they both have the same color, clarity, symmetry and polish values…
Diamonds with ideal cuts appear to have proper symmetry, regular angles, and optimum intensity of light reflection.
All the proportions, brightness, fire and shine are as perfect as you can imagine.
It is also important to recognize that diamonds with the ideal cut are very difficult to find. That’s what makes them so valuable
These types of diamonds come in two ideal cuts, princess cut and round cut.
Princess cut and round cut are just two cuts that fit “ideal” proportions and features.
How Do You Know If You Should Buy a Diamond with the Ideal Cut?
Choosing the type of diamond that best suits your taste can be complicated. You may often be skeptical and if the local jeweler near you does not offer you ideal options?
It all depends on your priorities and also a little bit on your personal style! If a good shine intensity is your style, then the ideal cut is the perfect destination for you.
Excellent Cutting Table Width – Between 53% and 61% According to GIA Diamond Grading Laboratory. The ideal should be between 55%-57%.
Diamonds with an ‘excellent’ cut exhibit great clarity. Dark and light areas are distinct to the eyes. They also display very high levels of brightness and fire. This is because almost the full amount of light falling on it is reflected back.
According to the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) grading laboratory, a diamond with a perfect cut is considered the highest class cut.
However, this category of diamond cut classification is quite broad. People have an assumption that any diamond with a perfect cut will be extraordinary. This is a very reasonable assumption. But unfortunately this is not the case.
Approximately 55% of GIA diamonds on the market today have an excellent quality cut. However, only a handful have the full potential of a brilliant diamond. According to relevant statistics, 30% of these excellent quality cut diamonds will not be recommended by experts.
In other words, 30% of GIA Excellent Cut certified diamonds will not be recommended by experts.
By our standards, we look for the 25% best IDEAL segments out of the remaining 70%.
As a result of developing AI technology and computerized evaluations, IDEAL cuts will lose less value in the future.
How Do You Decide If Your Diamond Has Excellent Cut Quality?
Diamond cut quality affects several factors. These include symmetry, fire, shine and polish. If you want optimum fire and shine, opt for brilliant round diamonds with the IDEAL cut.
