Of all the tradeoffs and choices made in the selection of a diamond, the cut is the one thing that should never be compromised. The cut is the single most important element in determining how brilliant and beautiful the diamond is, and to sacrifice on the quality of the cut is to sacrifice the core beauty of the diamond.
To meet this standard, a round diamond must have an Excellent cut grade. At Kwiat, we have a stricter set of parameters that we apply, and so only a portion of the GIA’s Excellent cut grade diamonds will be worthy of the Kwiat tiara logo. These parameters allow us to cut and identify the most brilliant of the round diamonds that have the largest size appearance.
The quality of the cut is equally as important in fancy shapes, although there is no cut grade on the GIA certificate to guide you. When looking at fancy shapes, it is critically important to have the help of a experienced and trusted advisor who can help you understand the different elements of the cut that make a diamond beautiful.
