The Crown of the diamond includes the Table and the facets above the Girdle of the stone.
When diamonds recieve light through their Crowns, the light is reflected from side to side within the stone by the Pavilion.
After crossing the interior of the diamond, the light should be reflected back out again through the crown.
If the angles of the cuts are either too steep or too flat, some of the light that entered the stone will fail to re-emerge from the crown The result is that the potential brilliance and fire of the stone has been diminished. Both the beauty and value of the stone are effected
