CUT

All New Life Diamonds loose stones are cut and polished in accordance with high
industry standards. The cuts are carefully chosen for every diamond by our specialists in
order to bring forward the best qualities of each crystal. The cuts offered by New Life
Diamonds are: round, princess and emerald. Many other cuts are available upon request.

In order to best utilize a diamond gemstone's superlative material properties, a number
of different diamond cuts have been developed. A diamond cut constitutes a more or
less symmetrical arrangement of facets which together modify the shape and
appearance of a diamond crystal. Diamond cutters must consider several factors, such
as the shape and size of the crystal when choosing a cut.

The most popular of diamond cuts is the modern round brilliant, whose facet
arrangements and proportions have been perfected by both mathematical and empirical
analysis. Also popular are the fancy cuts which come in a variety of shapes. Many of
which were derived from the round brilliant. A diamond's cut is evaluated by trained
graders, with higher grades given to stones whose symmetry and proportions most
closely match the particular "ideal" used as a benchmark. The strictest standards are
applied to the round brilliant; although its facet count is invariable, its proportions are
not.

The modern round brilliant consists of 58 facets (or 57 if the culet is excluded); 33 on
the crown (the top half above the middle or girdle of the stone) and 25 on the pavilion
(the lower half below the girdle). The girdle may be frosted, polished smooth, or
faceted. In recent decades, most girdles are faceted; many have 32, 64, 80, or 96 facets.
