Diamond Cuts Questions

Which diamond cuts are the most expensive per carat?

Diamond cuts that are the most expensive per carat are the ideal cut diamonds. An ideal cut diamond is round in shape, but has only about 30% yield from the rock, and therefore it becomes the most expensive cut of diamond.

Which diamond cuts are the least expensive per carat?

Well, really, the least expensive per carat isn't really determinable. What can be determined is the most expensive per carat, and we've determined that an ideal cut diamond, which is a round type of diamond that yields very little from the rough, is the most expensive.

Which diamond cuts have the highest resale value?

When it comes to resale, there isn't a specific cut of diamond that has the highest resale value. It really depends on the diamond itself, its quality, and all of its characteristics. There are too many of those to classify any particular cut as the best resale.

Which diamond cuts are the most popular today?

Today, the most popular diamond cuts are the round brilliant. The round brilliant has held the post of most popular for many years. Fast rising are the princess cuts, and also some of the more fancy shapes and the traditional shapes like the asher and the emerald cut, which are also making a strong running for the most popular.
