Very Good cut: A diamond cut to exacting proportions, allowing it to reflect almost as much light as an Ideal cut would. Diamonds with a Very Good cut grade are brilliant diamonds with lower prices than Ideal cut. Represents roughly the top 15% of diamond quality based on cut. Reflects nearly as much light as the ideal cut, but for a lower price.
Cut Grading Systems analyze the light performance of a faceted diamond and measure the light rays traveling through all the facets in 3 dimensions instead of 2 dimensions.
And the cut grade rating determines the quantity and quality of light being returned to the viewer. In addition to proportion, symmetry and polish, brightness, dispersion, leakage, contrast and spread are also considered when assigning the final cut grade. Laboratories use the following attributes of a diamond to help determine the cut grade: depth %, table %, crown angle, pavilion angle, star length, girdle, polish, symmetry, and culet size. The Polygon Cut Grade feature applies to the standard round brilliant diamond cuts across all clarity ranges from the D-to-Z color-grading scale.
