As opposed to the system used for diamond classification, there isn’t a universal “ideal” cut optimized for the brilliance of color gemstones. Instead, a good quality cut for gemstones is one that accentuates even color tones, reduces the prominence of inclusions, increases reflection and therefore refraction of incident light (avoidance of “windows”), and showcases the maximum carat weight of the gemstone when set in jewelry.
