The cut of a diamond refers to how well the diamond has been cut. It determines the brilliance and shine of the diamond. A well cut diamond maximizes the beauty and vividness of a diamond. An excellent cut is the one that reflects the most light that enters the top of the diamond, adding to the beauty of the diamond and increasing its brilliance. On the other hand a poor cut diamond will have an absorbing effect. Whether a diamond is well or poorly cut depends on the skill of the cutter.
Shape, on the other hand, is the geometrical shape of the diamond after it has been cut and polished. A cut diamond comes in various shapes like the Round, Princess, Emerald, Marquise etc.
The shape of a diamond is only a matter of personal preference but the cut of the diamond maximize the reflective qualities of the stone. Since the cut determines the brilliance of the gem, it is an important factor in the pricing of the diamond. A well cut diamond will reflect more brilliance will be valued more than a poorly cut diamond.
Because of its significant role in determining the value of a diamond, the cut remains an important factor when purchasing a diamond. Selecting the shape of a diamond is based on type of setting it is mounted and the type of facet it will be in form of say a ring or a pendant.
