Always look for a diamond that has been cut and polished to bring out all of its natural brilliance, one that meets the exacting standards that have been established as ideal. These are called ideal cut diamonds. When a diamond is ideally cut. its 58 facets are placed in precise relation to the others. They act as tiny mirrors, constantly capturing and reflecting light and bouncing it back through the top of the stone in a brilliant blaze. A diamond cut too shallow makes it look bigger, but lets some of the light 'leak out through the bottom and the stone appears watery. One cut too deep lets light 'leak" through the sides and appears black in the center when compared to an ideal cut diamond. ATT O ar Aq ! 11 LLUt (3 JEWELERS "The Bright Idea" 13th & P St.
