Demand of round diamonds is higher than any other cut, o demand and supply formaula exits. Round cut diamonds require more material to be removed from the rough diamond as compared to a fancy cut diamond. Naturally, this results in higher costs.
The cut itself is not an indicator of gem-stone price. The excellence of the cut may affect the price. The cut of a diamond stone is determined by the diamond cutter in order to preserve the other best qualities of the raw stone, such as colour, clarity or carat weight.
The round diamond shape is the most popular shape and accounts for about 75% of all diamonds that are sold. The reason being that, due to the way it is cut, it maximizes brightness. The princess cut diamond has a square or rectangular shape and it’s the second most popular diamond shape after the round diamond. The reason why the princess cut is cheaper and more affordable than a round cut is due to the fact that the yield from the rough stone is 80-90%, whereas the round diamond yield is about 40%. The larger the yield is the more affordable the diamond is.
The plan for any diamond cut -- regardless of the style -- is particular to an individual stone and cannot be used on another diamond. Why? Because the plan for a diamond cut highlights a stone's clarity and colour, while preserving its maximum carat weight.

Yes, if the cut of the two stones is the same. The whole purpose of the color alphabet is to identify the intensity of the color.AnswerNot necessarily - while a higher color is usually more expensive, if the lower color grade diamond is cut to much better standards, then it can be more expensive but of lesser color. Cut is very important as it controls the brilliance. When a diamond cutter has to cut a piece of rough, they have to balance the final carat weight with how beautiful they want to make it. Example, compare the cost of a regular round brilliant versus a hearts and arrows cut round brilliant. The hearts and arrows will be noticeably more brilliant, but also more expensive.
