Diamond Proportions:
Diamonds with “Good” proportions are the most widely sold in the world. They represent the majority of loose diamonds that are manufactured and have mass appeal by diamond experts and consumers because of the following reasons:
  1. They are reasonably priced.
  2. Diamonds with good proportions are well cut, only slightly less than a premium cut.
  3. When they are in a setting, even experts have difficulty telling the difference.
  4. They still shine and sparkle very nicely.

Premium Proportions:
Here we are speaking of a diamond with proportions that are slightly less than ideal, but better than good. About 15% of all loose diamonds are cut to Premium proportions.

Ideal Cut Diamond Proportions:


When one says that a diamond has ideal proportion, it means that each individual part is shaped perfectly in relation to the stone as a whole. These stones are in the top 3-5% of all diamonds that are cut today. Achieving this ideal state is the result of special attention to cutting details and making it a priority when manufacturing a stone.
As shown in the diagram below (insert image for good, fine, premium, ideal) the most basic way to judge proportions are the areas on a diamond such as the table, crown, girdle and pavilion.

Save on Cut:
When you really have your heart set on a specific size, color, and clarity, one option for you is to bend a little bit on the diamonds cut.
In other words, if your budget is tight, and you still want a pretty diamond, then going with a Good cut, may be a way to save and still get the diamond you really want.

How much can you save purchasing a Good Cut diamond? The difference between an Ideal or Premium Cut diamond and a Good Cut diamond can be as much as 20% and for that reason it can make lots of sense to go with a Good Cut.
