🛑 Don't Pay for "Dead Weight"
Jewelers love selling Deep Cut diamonds (Depth > 63%) because they retain more weight from the rough stone.
- The Lie: "It's a 1.2 Carat stone!"
- The Truth: It has the surface area of a 1.0 Carat stone. You paid for 0.2 Carats of invisible weight hiding in the bottom.
- The Result: Light leaks out the bottom. The center looks dark (Nailhead effect).
Pro Tip: Stick to Depth 59% - 62.5% and Table 54% - 60% for maximum sparkle and size.
