The flat part of the diamond is the major reflector of light, so you want this flat table to be large enough to catch and reflect the light, but also to have a good ratio with the total width of the diamond. By learning more about the diamond table percentage, you can better determine the quality of a diamond to ensure that you get the maximum value for your investment.
The diamond table is the flat part of the cut that reflects the light. A diamond table percentage that is too low will not have as much brilliance and fire as a diamond that has a higher diamond table percentage. In our opinion, the diamond table percentage in round diamonds should be 53% for maximum brilliance and fire.
The diamond table percentage is determined by finding the ratio of the table width compared by the total width of the diamond at its widest point and is normally found on the diamond certificate that you get when your purchase a certified diamond. For princess, radiant, and emerald cut diamonds, an ideal diamond table percentage is 75 to 80%, while other cuts should have an ideal diamond table percentage of 53 to 58%. No matter what the diamond table percentage is, however, you want to choose a diamond that you love the look of. This is the most important thing to consider to ensure that you get maximum satisfaction and value.
