Rarity of the Ideal Cut True Ideal Cuts are Rare Not all optimal proportioned stones that exhibit a hearts and arrow pattern have excellent optical symmetry. Not all stones with excellent optical symmetry with H&A patterns possess ideal brilliance because they might not have optimal proportions. It would be necessary to have optimal proportions that are leakage proof with excellent external symmetry, excellent polish, and optical symmetry in order for a diamond to be classified as a truly optimal cut diamond with the utmost brilliance for that cut model. Having only one of these criteria is not enough. To be truly considered ideal the diamond must possess the greatest light performance and aesthetics when compared to all other round brilliant cut models. Precisions Cutting is Rare Diamonds of this exceptional beauty are extremely rare because not only do you need diamond manufacturers that are willing to lose the excess weight from the rough diamond, but also necessary are master cutters with extraordinary artistic talent that can handcraft the precise faceting arrangements onto the raw diamonds. Precision cutting at this level is very difficult to achieve and only a handful of cutters in the world possess such skills. One can cut diamonds for years, yet may never be able to develop the skills that are necessary to cut an optimal cut diamond. Like surgeons, not all are the same. Back to Intermediate Info Mainpage
