diamonds aside, white diamonds are graded on a chart
and colorless diamonds are considered the highest
quality. The quality ranges from colorless (letters
D, E and F), to almost colorless/brown/gray (letters
G, H, I and J), to faint yellow (letters K, L and M)
all the way to the letter Z, which signifies a light
yellow diamond.
Because colorless diamonds are considered the most
prized, diamond quality in the higher letters (D, E,
F) are the better choice.
Cut: The fourth "C", cut, is the
only "C" on which humans have any control. For the
other three "C's", carat weight, clarity and color,
mother nature deals her hand and we get what she gives
us.
Cut can play an important role in diamond quality,
because a poorly cut diamond can ruin the value of a
stone, and in today's world where profit is the name
of the game, master diamond cutters with years of
experience are in charge of diamond cutting for any
reputable company.
Cut refers to the geometric shape and proportions to
which a diamond is pared. In the 1930's a Russian
mathematician named Marcel Tolkowsky, derived a
formula for which the calculations of the proportions
of a diamond's facets (in a round diamond) that would
bring an ideal balance between brilliance and
dispersion. Since then, his formula is the
calculation by which all diamonds are measured.
Though the exact calculation and geometric design are
much too complicated to explain, it is important to
know that a round cut diamond has 57 or 58 facets
(flat planes or surfaces on a diamond that must be cut
in exact relation to the others to create the most
fire and brilliance). Each facet must be cut an
polished to the exact specifications in relation to
the other facets on the stone. If facets do not match
exactly, the stone it cut poorly the diamond quality
decreases. |
