4Cs of Diamond Quality: Diamond Cut Grading by GIA. As the creator of the 4Cs of diamond quality, GIA established the universal language for communicating a diamond’s value. Diamonds are renowned for their ability to transmit light and sparkle intensely. Learn about the most complex of the 4Cs, diamond cut, with this one-minute video. A diamond’s cut is what unleashes its light. Precise artistry and workmanship are required to fashion a stone so its proportions, symmetry, and polish deliver the magnificent return of light only possible in a diamond. The GIA Cut Grading System for the standard round brilliant diamond evaluates seven components. Brightness, fire, and scintillation consider the diamond’s overall face-up appearance while weight ratio, durability, polish, and symmetry assess a diamond’s design and craftsmanship. Interested in diamond cuts? Popular cuts of diamonds can range from the princess cut diamond to the cushion cut diamond to the emerald cut diamond.
