square cut

Angular gem profile

Square cut describes something cut at right angles rather than on a diagonal or curve.

In cricket, a square cut is a batting stroke that sends the ball sharply to the side, perpendicular to the pitch: He played a beautiful square cut to the boundary.

In gemology, a square cut is a style with four equal sides and right-angle corners, as in some diamonds and emeralds.
