I promise that if you read on, I will try my best to make you see how this technical ride is going to make you the smart one of the group.

What Is the Best Cut for a round Diamond?

? Look out for Table and Depth ?

So, like I told you before, the Table is the flat surface on the top of the diamond which you can see if you keep your head diagonal to it. ? The larger the table, the higher the grading. Larger table will reflect more light and make it look super brilliant and fiery. ? Simple!

Depth is the measurement from the top to the bottom (culet) of a diamond. You don’t need to make these measurements as your engagement ring guide is supposed to help with that. ? This is quite an important factor as it will contribute to the overall cut of the diamond! ?

Ideal table % = 53 – 58

Ideal Depth % = 59 – 62.3

? That One Crown Angle ?

I’m going to use some technical terms to stuff you with more sexier details filled knowledge potion. ? Crown angle is the measured angle between the bezel facet plane and the table plane. Don’t you worry to memorize it all in all! ? Just remember that crown angle is an important aspect when getting a diamond. Plus, you can tell her for my princess, this crown angle fits perfect.

Ideal Crown Angle = 34 – 34.9

? Behold The Pavilion Depth ?

Pavilion depth is also another add-on he-is-sexy-and-he-knows-it-all-all content fro our knowledge potion! ? It is the distance from the girdle to the cutlet. ? Just remember that it does play an important part in the sparkle of a diamond – don’t get a diamond that’s too shallow as the light won’t be reflected. ?

Ideal Pavilion Depth = 42.8 – 43.2

? The Theory of Girdle ?

Girdle isn’t really that important but still something that I will mention. It is the thin perimeter a diamond has which will make contact with the setting that you choose!

Ideal Girdle = Thin to Slightly Thick

? The Cutlet Reality ?

Finally, Cutlet is something that might make sense to you! ? It is the pointy edge on the bottom of the diamond. It won’t be seen once the diamond is fixed into the setting. It’s not a really important aspect as it won’t be seen, at all. But still, you can just randomly slip in how this cutlet fits perfect with everything the ring has.

Ideal Cutlet = None or very small, small
