THE IDEAL CUT

 

			When a round brilliant diamond has been cut to
		"Ideal" proportions by a master cutter, it is a splendor
		to behold.
			The Ideal Cut Diamond describes a round brilliant
		diamond that has been cut to exact and mathematically
		proven proportions. It's symmetry, with 58 exactly placed
		facets, produces the ultimate in lustre and beauty.
			When a diamond has been cut to ideal proportions,
		all of the light entering from any direction is totally
		reflected through the top and is dispersed into a
		display of sparkling flashes and rainbow colors.
