Cut can be referred to the shape of the diamond or the angles and proportions of the diamond.
A master cutter reveals the diamonds true brilliance, fire, and beauty. Based on scientific formulas, a well cut diamond reflects light that comes in form the top of the stone reflects off a mirror like facet, reflects to another, and ultimately reflecting back out the top of the stone. If the stone is cut too deep or too shallow the light will not reflect correctly ultimately lowering the brilliance and value of the diamond.
Cut also refers to the shape of the diamond. When diamonds are a different shape then round they are called fancy cut diamonds. Fancy diamonds follow a different guideline for cut.
