The five main components of a diamond's cut are the following:

  • Table: This is the largest facet of a diamond which comprises the flat surface on the top of the stone, resembling a 'table'.
  • Crown: This is the top portion and is located above the girdle and extending below the table.
  • Girdle: This is the outermost edge of a diamond where the crown and the pavilion meet.
  • Pavilion: This bridges the girdle and the culet and is located at the lower part of the diamond.
  • Culet: This is the smallest facet of a diamond and is located at the very bottom of the stone.
