		<description><![CDATA[Of the 4Cs, cut is the most important characteristic of a diamond and it has the greatest overall impact on a diamond’s beauty.  Diamonds have the unique ability to manipulate light (aka fire, sparkle, and brilliance) that can only be realized with an extremely high level of accuracy during the cutting and polishing process.  Nature dictates color and clarity, but humans affect the cut. ]]></description>

Some blemishes can affect the diamond’s clarity grade, but many have no impact on the diamond’s brilliance. ]]></description>
