Signature Ideal Cut Diamonds

The Signature ideal cut Difference

Cut is considered the most important characteristic of a diamond, because it has the biggest effect on brilliance. This is why we created the Signature Ideal Cut Diamond Collection – for those who want the finest diamond cut available.

Cut from the finest rough

To ensure the highest quality, we start with the finest uncut diamond rough found in nature. Because of its natural shape and crystalline structure, the diamond rough is first cut in two. Then each piece is meticulously analyzed by our master diamond gemologists, who mark it for facets with proportions that will produce the most brilliance.

Brilliance is the key

The dimensions of the Signature Ideal cut diamond are very specific, leaving no room for error. If a diamond is cut even slightly out of proportion, it may yield more carat weight but it will not be as brilliant. In fact, to create a diamond with this much brilliance, as much as 75% of the diamond rough must be cut away.

Perfect Proportions

Proportions affect how light travels within the diamond. Diamonds that are cut too shallow and wide, or too deep and narrow lose light out the sides or bottom, causing the diamond to lose brilliance. Signature Diamonds are cut to perfect proportions, allowing the diamond to reflect the maximum amount of light a diamond can produce.

Exceptional symmetry

The alignment of a diamond's facets, or symmetry, also has a strong effect on diamond brilliance. Each facet is like a mirror. When the facets are symmetrically aligned, all of that reflected light is focused directly at your eye.

Signature Collection is hand-selected and cut to the most exacting standards — guaranteeing a more brilliant diamond than any other Ideal cut.

The Signature Ideal Cut Collection includes the most brilliant round, princess, radiant, cushion, emerald, and Asscher diamonds cut to our finest ideal standards
