When a diamond is ideal cut, light rays from all sides are bent towards the centre of the stone and are reflected back through the top in a blaze of light.

If a diamond isn't ideal cut, light will "leak" out through the side or bottom of the diamond. The ideal cut guarantees you a spectacular balance of brilliance, sparkle and fire.

The ideal proportions of a Lazare Diamond ensure the optimal balance of brilliance, sparkle and fire. When light enters a properly cut diamond, it is reflected from facet to facet and comes back through the top in a rainbow blaze.
In a diamond that is cut too deep, much of the light is reflected to opposite facets at the wrong angle and is lost through the sides. The diamond may appear black in the centre.
In a diamond cut too shallow, light "leaks" through the bottom and the eye may see a dull reflection in the diamond.
