Diamond cut is perhaps the most important of the four Cs, so it is important to understand how this quality affects the properties and values of a diamond. A good cut gives a diamond its brilliance and shine. The angles and finish of any diamond are what determine its ability to handle light, which leads to fire, brilliance & scintillation
