LIGHT PERFORMANCE

Cut is one of the four Cs used to determine the quality of a diamond and is the most complex because of all the variables that go into its evaluation.

Light performance refers to the way a diamond interacts with light, including how much light is reflected and how it is dispersed into flashes of brilliance and fire. Factors that affect a diamond’s light performance include its proportions, weight ratio, and how all the angles of facets are aligned to give the diamond maximum brilliance, fire, and scintillation.
