Cut
A diamond's cut is the most important aspect in evaluating a diamond. Every True Ideals diamond is independently graded to have excellent cut, polish, and symmetry and fall into the narrow range of proportions defined below:
Table: 54% - 58%
Depth: 59.8% - 62.2%
Crown Angle: 34.0 - 35.0 degrees
Pavilion Angle: 40.6 - 40.9 degrees
Lower Girdle Facet Length: 75% - 80%
Girdle Thickness: Thin to Slightly Thick, Faceted
Culet Size: None to Very Small

Fewer than 1% of all diamonds qualify for our cut grade. Our stones are faceted with incredible precision to achieve optical symmetry and visible hearts and arrows.

The result is a diamond that provides the best brilliance, fire, and scintillation under a wide variety of lighting conditions.
