Diamond Cut — The Art of Brilliance

At Royceluxe, diamond cut isn’t about shape — it’s about how a diamond performs in light. Cut determines the precision of angles, symmetry, and polish, which ultimately defines the sparkle, fire, and brilliance you see.

01 — Light Performance

How cut impacts light performance

Every facet of a diamond acts like a mirror. Cut to ideal proportions, those facets maximize light return, resulting in extraordinary shine. Cut too shallow or too deep, and light escapes from the sides or bottom — reducing brilliance.

02 — The Grades

Diamond cut grades explained

01 Ideal Cut

Precision-crafted for optimal brilliance. Reflects nearly all the light — the rarest and most dazzling grade.

02 Excellent Cut

Exceptional light performance, just a step below Ideal. Brilliant, elegant, and highly valued.

03 Very Good Cut

Reflects most of the light with impressive sparkle. Great beauty at a more accessible price.

04 Good Cut

Offers decent brilliance, though light escape is more noticeable. A practical option for budget-conscious buyers.

05 Fair Cut

Less brilliance due to poor angles. Light escapes from the bottom or sides, resulting in a duller appearance.

Royceluxe Tip — Always Choose the Cut First

When selecting a diamond, cut is king. A higher cut grade enhances not only sparkle and visual size, but also amplifies the value of the carat. For a diamond that truly shines, invest in brilliance first.
