Diamond Anatomy
Most polished diamonds have specific names for key parts of their structure. For this reason, we created a simple diagram showing the various parts of a diamond. We describe the various facets and their positions on a typical round brilliant-cut diamond.
For more information and a more detailed explanation, visit the diamond diagram appearing in our diamond education section fo the website. Here we describe each part of the diamond as it appears here.
