Do diamonds have to be 3EX cut?
The reason why so many people choose diamond jewelry with diamond cutting 3ex is because it can show the effect of eight hearts and eight arrows.

The cutting of diamonds determines the proportion of diamonds and ultimately the fire color of diamonds. If you want diamonds to be full of fire, you must choose the best cut, that is, the perfect cut of three EX.
In the 4C standard of diamond, cutting is directly affected by human factors, and diamond cutting has a very critical influence on the brightness, fire color and flash of diamond. Good cutting can give the diamond soul and directly affect the brilliance of the diamond.
