Abstract: The invention is directed to shallow pavilion, cut diamonds having excellent optical characteristics. The shallow pavilion cut diamonds of the invention have a table with a table plane and a girdle. The cut diamonds have a shape and configuration that result in a specific total depth percentage, a specific crown height percentage, a specific girdle height percentage and a specific table percentage. A crown surface is located between the table and the girdle and extends in a crown angle to the table plane. A pavilion surface extends at a pavilion angle relative to the table. The pavilion surface includes a plurality of substantially planar main pavilion facets, each of which extend from the girdle to a pointed culet defining the bottom most portion of the cut diamond. The crown angle is in the range of between about 29 degrees to about 36 degrees, and the pavilion angle is in the range of between about 15 degrees and about 34.5 degrees.
