Note On Fancy Cut Diamonds
Some examples of Fancy
Cuts and brilliance achievements are, with round diamonds, a total depth percentage
in the upper 50s or lower 60s. This is a beautiful result. In a princess or radiant
cut for example, with a proper crown, a total depth of 70% or more is not uncommon
for well-made diamonds.
Fancy Cut Diamonds
These two shapes generally require the greatest depths of all the fancy shapes.
Emerald cuts have facets that are arranged in concentric rows around the diamond.
These facets reflect light in a different way than the other shapes do. They also
require a slighter greater depth percentage than round cut.
One must remember
that the choice of cut is purely personal,
and how each person aesthetically connects with the look of a diamond is a matter
of individuality.
