Belly is defined as?

• A. The central girdle curvature
• B. The curvature of the pavilion
• C. The feature at the girdle ridge
• D. The slightly curving center of the long side of a pear, marquise, heart, or oval.

Answer: (D)

The idea being tested is the terminology used for outlining features on fancy-shaped diamonds. Belly refers to the slightly curving center of the long side of shapes such as pear, marquise, heart, or oval—the narrow, bulging midsection along the girdle. This distinguishes it from other features like the overall girdle curvature, the pavilion’s curvature, or any feature specifically at the girdle ridge. So the correct description is the slightly curving center of the long side of those shapes.
