In the world of diamonds there are people who describe certain diamond appearance as being "brilliant cut", "crushed ice", etc. Many fancy shapes take on this appearance and there are both positive and negative aspects to diamonds that are commonly described as having this appearance. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? Explore this subject with us as we take a look at what we have found to both please the eyes of women and also not when people have the chance to compare.
@apham126 Good question. Unfortunately with the GIA grading system there is no cut grade for cushions or cushion modified's (or any fancy shape for that matter) that show you what we are showing you in this video. Currently there are only 2 cushions that are graded for light performance and that from AGS Labs. Those 2 are the Brellia (Square Cushion Hearts & Arrows) and the August Vintage Cushion. A cushion or cushion modified can have GIA Excellent "polish" & "symmetry" and still be a dud.

What do you consider the minimum cut (make) of modified brilliant cushion diamond for optimum fire & sparkle? ? Ideal or excellent?
