Describe cut: a) well cut diamonds best display a diamond’s inherent brilliance and fire: proper indexing and angling of facets maximizes the reflection and refraction of light; a cut that is too deep or to shallow results in a reduction of a diamond’s brilliance and fire; b) evaluation of a cut includes proportion and finish ... 3, record 1, English, - indexing%20of%20facets

Le positionnement des facettes et leur inclinaison mutuelle sont effectués uniquement à l'œil nu et à la loupe, sans autre instrument, par un diamantaire expérimenté (il contrôle néanmoins certains angles, comme entre bezel et pavillon, avec un goniomètre à main). Il existe, en particulier pour les petites pierres, des aides mécaniques pour le placement des facettes; il ne faut pas s'attendre à voir réaliser une taille brillant par une machine totalement automatique. 3, record 1, French, - positionnement%20de%20facettes
