Schematics of a PrincessCut Diamond

[kavala14]

Where can I see a description or schematic explaining the parts of princess cut diamonds? (culet, table, girdle, depth etc)

Hi Kavala. This is a round, but it's the same thing...just to give you an idea...

59.3% is the depth of this diamond? Where is the 40.7%? IS the 59.3% of the total diamond size, confused?

Here's what I referenced above, courtesy of White Flash:

Also, there is either a point on a diamond OR a culet. A culet is just a little flat facet cut on the bottom of the stone (where the point would normally be (if your diamond says "no culet" it means it comes to a point)).

Girdle: the outer edge of your diamond
Table: the big flat facet on top of the diamond
Depth: the total % of your stone from the table to the point/culet
Pavilion: the area from the girdle to the bottom of the stone
Crown: the faceted area from the girdle to the table

Does this help at all?

Does the depth% refer to the table starting at the very top part of the table or the base of the table?
