The less visible the inclusions are, the higher the grade.
- Cut: The cut is essentially what makes a sapphire really sparkle. The cut of a stone refers to how it was faceted and polished from its rough state. Sapphires are given a cut grade, which factors in symmetry, windowing, extinction, and brilliance.
