The proportion is comparison between table percentage and depth percentage. On the top of every loose diamond you can see a flat surface it is called table and the total length, from top to bottom, is called depth of the diamond. In good proportional the light will enter and leave back diamond at good level allowing loose diamonds look shiner.

The symmetry means that how the sides of the diamonds are fitted and matched to form that diamond. If the sides are not matched properly, diamond will not be able to reflect back light properly. So to make diamond look shinier, symmetry should be maintained.

By polish of loose diamonds, we mean that how good it is polished. As we know that diamonds are among the hardest things in the world, so time consuming and tough process is needed to polish them. Diamond grits are used to polish loose diamonds.
