All of the four C's have an effect on the beauty of a diamond, but the cut is most important factor. The cut (number of facets, proportions, symmetry, etc.) determines a diamond's brilliance. When light enters the top of the diamond, it reflects and refracts within the diamond. How light is directed through the number of facets and the placement of those facets in relationship to each other determine a diamond.
The way in which a diamond is cut determines how brilliant the diamond will be. A well-cut diamond reflects the maximum amount of light that enters it. The exact angles of the ideal cut diamond have been mathematically calculated and proven to reflect the maximum amount of light.
