The girdle is the series of facets around the widest part of the diamond, used by the jeweler to set the stone. A very wide girdle adds to carat weight, while a very thin girdle can set up the diamond for an accidental fracture or chipping.

An ideal girdle is thin to slightly thick. Here is the range of GIA grades for girdle:

  • Extremely Thin
  • Very Thin
  • Thin
  • Slightly Thin
  • Medium
  • Slightly Thick
  • Thick
  • Very Thick
  • Extremely Thick

Does electricity move better through thick or thin wire?

Electricity moves better through thick wire. This is because thick wires have a lower resistance and allows more current to pass through it. Now that might be true but I did an experiment with a thick wire,thin wire,light bulb,and D batteries and the thin wire made the light bulb light up brighter. So, really its probably a thin wire.
