| The Canadian Ideal Cut | The Canadian Fine Cut |
| It is important to know the characteristics of a high quality loose diamond. An informed consumer will know the difference between an "Ideal Cut" and an "Inferior Cut". Here's what you need to look out for. | |
 |
The Ideal Cut: Light entering the diamond reflects internally from facet to facet and is reflected back through the top only, creating maximum brilliance. |
| Inferior Cut: Most diamonds are "spread" in thier cutting to retain maximum weight from the original rough. A heavier diamond will result, but with a dramatic sacrifice of potential fire and brilliance. See examples below. | |
 |
Too Deep: When a diamond is cut too deep, light leaks out of the bottom, brilliance is lost, and the center of the diamond will appear to be dark. |
 |
Too Shallow: When a diamond is cut too shallow, light leaks out of the bottom, brilliance is lost and the center of the diamond appears watery, glassy and dark. |
