The Cut grade reflects the diamond's overall light performance by assessing the angles and uniformity of the facets. The GIA grading guidelines take into account: Face up appearance (brightness, fire, scintillation) and the design (facet proportions and dimensions). The GIA uses the following grades for Cut:

Round Diamonds: Excellent (EX), Very good (VG), Good (G), Fair (F) and Poor (P).

The GIA only assigns cut grades to round diamonds. On our website, other shapes are given informal cut grades based on their overall light performance and proportions. The industry recognised gradings for these are:

Fancy Shapes: Ideal, Excellent, Good or Poor.
