The proportions of a well-cut diamond permit it evenly to reflect and refract a burst of
that light and color back to the eye.
Diamonds carry grades from Excellent down to
Poor
:

Excellent: (Top 1%), reflecting virtually all light that enters the gemstone
Ideal
:  (Top 3%), reflecting almost all the light that enters the gemstone
Very Good:
(Top 15%), reflects almost as much light as “Ideal” stones at lower price
Good: (Top 15%), reflects most of the light that enters the gemstone, at cost
considerably lower than “Very Good”
Fair: (Top 35%), less brilliant (also less expensive) than gemstones graded “Good”
Poor: All other diamonds below the “Fair” grade.










The most important criterion for many
diamond clients, however, is shape.  No one
shape is “best,” or better than any other.  It’s purely a matter of personal preference.  
Here are the most popular shapes available in the
diamond market today:
