The way a diamond is cut and polished is very vital to its sparkle and brilliance. The price of a diamond greatly depends on how it was cut. It is the precision and delicacy of the cut that dictates the maximum amount of light that the diamond will refract and reflect. The better it is cut, the more greater will be its brilliance and sparkle. When a diamond is cut into good proportions, light is internally reflected from one facet to another and then dispersed through the crown. If the cut is too deep, then some light will escape through the opposite side of the pavilion, or bottom of the diamond. If the cut is too shallow, then some light will escape through the pavilion, or bottom, before it can be reflected. So, a well-cut diamond is comprised of facets with the correct angles, which are perfectly placed to maximize the diamond's brilliance.
