Diamond Cut

The cut of a diamond not only suggests the diamond's shape, but it also suggests how successfully the diamond returns light back to the viewer's eye. A well-cut diamond will seem exceptionally splendid and red-hot, while an inadequately cut diamond can seem dull and dead, paying little regard to its color or clearness.

Well-cut diamond seems more magnificent and exclusive; it also has a tendency to seem bigger than other diamonds of a similar carat weight. A “flawless” diamond has both expanded brightness and measurement, more prominent in well-cut diamonds.

Ideal cut diamonds

An Ideal cut diamond is round, brilliant, or a princess cut that is cut to perfection, has a sparkling polished look and a symmetric design. An ideal cut diamond is flawlessly proportioned to refract light, delivering that fire and brightness up through to the table and crown. Diamond Guru offers an amazing collection of Ideal cut diamonds.

Understanding Brilliance, Dispersion & Scintillation

A well-cut diamond displays three different properties: brilliance, dispersion and scintillation. As light strikes a diamond's surface, it will either reflect off the table of a polished stone or enter the diamond. The light that is reflected off the diamond is known as the diamond's brilliance. As light travels through a stone, some of the light rays are separated into flashes of spectral colors. This is known as dispersion, or in other

Diamond Color

When looking for a diamond, it is, for the most part, a want to pick a stone with the minimal measure of color conceivable. Diamond color is evaluated on a scale from D-Z and is partitioned into five general classes (dry, close drab, blackout, light and light). Diamonds come in all shades of the range. The overwhelming color you find in a diamond is yellow, which is caused by the component nitrogen.

For the most part, when looking at color between two diamonds, the diamonds should be no less than two color grades separated to try and start to see a distinction. As should be obvious from the pictures underneath, when diamonds are in the face-up position it is relatively difficult to perceive any color. When seeing the diamond from the side profile, you may begin to recognize some color; in any case, diamonds are respected for their excellence from the face-up position and not the side.

Colorless Diamonds (D-F)

Diamonds inside the lackluster range are the most uncommon and significant of every one of those on the color scale. D/E color stones show for all intents and purposes no color, while F hued diamonds will show an almost undetected measure of color when seen by a gemologist.

Near Colorless Diamonds (G-J)

Diamonds inside the close vapid range seem dreary in the face-up position, yet do show a slight measure of color when seen looking down against an exceptional white foundation. This following measure of color will be imperceptible to an untrained eye once the diamond has been mounted. Close dreary diamonds offer a gigantic incentive at their cost.

Faint Color Diamonds (K)

Diamonds inside the blackout color classification may demonstrate a slight insight color when seen in the face-up position; in any case, these are another awesome choice for the individuals who are not elusive to color. Some even love the color plan that is shown from these diamonds.

While the most overwhelming color found in a diamond is yellow, it's normal for a diamond to go up against the darker color. This is believed to be caused by inward graining, which comes about because of basic inconsistencies frequently combined with a contamination like nitrogen.

Diamond Clarity

Which Clarity Grade to Choose?

It is imperative to choose a diamond that does not have any incorporation that will influence the general magnificence and sturdiness of the diamond. In the event that you need to be 100% certain that your diamond will be totally spotless of "eye-noticeable" considerations, stay with diamonds evaluated "VS2" or higher. Looking for SI quality diamonds can be exceptionally fulfilling, yet it's best to have those diamonds evaluated by Diamond Guru's master staff before concluding your request. This will guarantee you get a diamond that does not have any considerations noticeable to the exposed eye.

Diamond Weight

Diamond Weight: Carat is a term that alludes to the heaviness of a diamond. Before the twentieth century, diamonds were estimated utilizing carob seeds, which were little and uniform and filled in as an ideal stabilizer to the diamond. "Carob" is the source of "carat" that we utilize today.

Diamond Size and Diamond Carat Weight

The measure of a diamond is corresponding to its carat weight. At the point when harsh diamonds are cut and polished into completed diamonds, up to 2/3 of the aggregate carat weight might be lost. Since bigger unpleasant pearls of high caliber are discovered less every now and again than littler harsh diamonds of high caliber, a solitary two-carat diamond will be more costly than two one-carat diamonds of a similar quality.

In the United States, the dominant part of diamonds utilized as a part of gems and sold as free diamonds are one carat or less in weight. The normal wedding band diamond sold in the U.S. is less than 1/2 carat in weight.

A diamond will increment in weight substantially quicker than it increments in real "face-up" distance across. For instance, while a perfect one-cut carat diamond measures around 6.5mm in width, a diamond of twice its weight measures just 8.2mm wide—not as much as a 30% expansion. The realistic to one side represents this point.

Which Carat Weight Is Right For You?

This inquiry has no immediate answer. It is a decision that relies on individual inclination and spending plan. When taking a gander at a diamond wedding band, what is most unmistakable is the span of the surface region on the highest point of the diamond. It is hard to gauge a diamond's carat weight just by taking a gander at it. In spite of the fact that carat weight impacts cost a considerable amount, it is prudent to focus on diamond cut and breadth.

Diamond Anatomy

While each diamond is one of a kind, all diamonds share certain auxiliary highlights. A diamond's life structure, or its fundamental structure, decides its extents, brightness, scattering, and glimmer. Each piece of the diamond has a particular name and having an essential comprehension of how each part adds to the diamond, all in will enable you to locate your ideal diamond.

A diamond includes the eight principle segments. They are Diameter, Table, Crown, Table Spread, Girdle, Pavilion, Depth, and Culet. The following is a concise depiction of each piece of a diamond and its area.

  • Diameter: Width of a polished stone, estimated from edge to edge.
  • Table: The biggest polished aspect situated on the highest point of the diamond.
  • Crown: The crown is comprised of bezel features (crown mains), star aspects, upper support features (upper parts), and a table aspect.
  • Girdle: The very edge (amplest edge) of the diamond where the crown and structure meet.
  • Pavilion: The base piece of a diamond reaching out starting from the girdle to the culet.
  • Depth: The aggregate stature of a diamond estimated from the table to the culet.
  • Culet: The little or pointed feature at the exceptionally base of the diamond.

Before acquiring a diamond, ensure that you have a fundamental comprehension of a diamond's life structures. This will enable you to really acknowledge diamonds and every one of their complexities, speak with specialists about a specific diamond, and, above all, it will help you in settling on a well-contemplated diamond, which is best for you.

Proportion — Understanding Brilliance, Dispersion & Scintillation

Well– proportioned diamonds display three unique properties: splendour, scattering and glimmer. As light strikes a diamond's surface, it will either reflect off the table of a polished stone or enter the diamond. The light that is reflected is known as the diamond's splendour — the blaze of white light one sees when taking a gander at a stone. As light goes through a stone, a portion of the light beams are isolated into flashes of color. This is known as scattering. The consequence of scattering—the partition of white light into its ghastly hues — is known as flame. Glitter is flashes of color that are distinguishable as an eyewitness moves a diamond forward and backward.

Putting It All Together

Utilize this intelligent instrument to perceive how profundity and table rates can influence the brightness in a round diamond. If it's not too much trouble Note: this case is for a round diamond just—extravagant shapes have their own particular arrangement of one of a kind properties.

Diamond Symmetry

Symmetry alludes to the precision of the shape and game plan of features in a diamond. Despite the fact that to the exposed eye, complete highlights just minutely affect appearance, symmetry is huge. In diamonds that have low lucidity grades, symmetry is less vital; however in diamonds with high clearness grades, symmetry is imperative.

Wavy Girdle

The support of a diamond ought to be a level plane, parallel to the table. In this illustration the support “waves” as it wraps around the diamond.

Crown & Pavilion Misalignment

In a round diamond the best point of the structure mains and the base point of the bezel aspects should meet perfectly at the support. We can find in this case the diamond's crown and structure features are misaligned.

Extra Facets

These are normally situated on the structure, close to the support; however they can be discovered anywhere on a diamond. In this illustration we see where additional aspects ordinarily happen.

Off-Center Culet

To check if the culet is focused, take a gander at the diamond in the face-up position. You'll see the lower support aspects through the table. In the event that the lines shaped by them resemble a flawless square, the culet is focused. On the off chance that the cross curves one method for the other, the culet isn't focused. In this illustration we see what a helter-skelter culet may resemble.

Off-Center Table

The arrangement of the table (the biggest feature on a diamond) ought to be focused at the highest point of the stone and should be parallel to the support. On the off chance that the table is topsy-turvy or not parallel with the support this can cause uneven crown points from one side to the next. In this illustration we see the uneven appearance that happens from a topsy-turvy table.

Table & Girdle Not Parallel

Here we see another case of what happens when the table isn't parallel with the support. As you see, the crown point is significantly more extreme on one-side than the other. From the best view you may have seen an off kilter table.

Misshapen Face

A right table shows a standard octagon shape. It ought to have eight sides of equivalent length that are each parallel to the contradicting inverse aspect. In this illustration we see features that are not appropriately formed, or they are not an indistinguishable size and shape from others like them on the substance of the diamond.

Faces Not Pointing Up

A few diamonds show aspects that are not legitimately pointed. Aspect examples of round brilliants are intended to demonstrate an exact game plan of 58 impeccably formed features. In this illustration we see some that don't meet at an immediate point.

Naturals on Crown and Pavilion

A characteristic is the first “harsh” of the diamond. Naturals dependably happen or begin on the support. They either plunge towards the structure or the crown. In this case we see the common situation of the support running down into the structure.

Diamond Polish

What Is Diamond Polish?

Diamond polishing impacts how well light can go through a diamond. It is an imperative characteristic in deciding a diamonds general splendour. While picking a diamond, it is best to pick one that is research facility ensured with a grade for superb polish. Diamonds with poor polish are essentially less splendid on the grounds that they have minute polish lines that obscure the surface of the stone—this likewise lessens the measure of light that enters or leaves the diamond. Now that numerous diamonds have a poor polish since some diamond cutters lessen their expenses by not investing adequate energy to legitimately polish a diamond.

How Is Polish Graded?

Polish is reviewed in a similar way that symmetry is evaluated. On a GIA report, the evaluations are Excellent, Very Good, Good, Fair or Poor. The same applies for AGS and IGI reports, which likewise incorporate ideal in their rundown.

  • EX or E - - Excellent, Flawless at 10X amplification
  • VG or VGD -Very Good, Extremely hard to situate under 10X amplification /li>
  • VG or VGD - Very Good, Extremely hard to situate under 10X amplification
  • F, FR, FA - - Fair, Noticeable under 10X amplification
  • PR, PO, P - Poor, Easy to see under 10X amplification/Visible to unaided eye
  • VP, VE - Very Poor, Relatively simple to see with the unaided eye
  • EX or EP -Extremely Poor, Obvious to see with unaided eye.

There is next to no distinction between these evaluations to the unaided eye. A diamond with a polish evaluated as Good can in any case be a momentous stone. It is just under amplification that the distinctions in these evaluations progress toward becoming clearer. Polish evaluated as Fair (FR) and Poor (PR), in any case, demonstrates that the imperfections in the polish are noticeable to the exposed eye and influence the general excellence of the diamond.

It is likewise vital that your ring does not have a porosity issue or harsh spots in the metal. Porosity is when there are minimal surface openings that deteriorate as you go further into the metal. By and large the consequence of mass creating rings with low quality control, porosity makes a ring frail and is non-repairable. A ring with porosity will in the long run separate.

Fluorescence

What Is Diamond Fluorescence?

Fluorescence is a normally happening wonder that shows up in specific minerals and diamonds. Some quality diamonds show a noticeable light when they are presented to bright light. This light is known as fluorescence. Under most lighting conditions, a diamond's fluorescence isn't obvious to the exposed eye, in spite of the fact that the diamond will show a delicate hued gleam if held under a bright light.

Do All Diamond Fluoresce?

Not all diamond fluoresces. On the off chance that a particular diamond does not fluoresce, the reviewing report will list the diamond's fluorescence as either latent or none.

What Are The Different Types of Diamond Fluorescence?

The level of fluorescence changes from swoon to medium to solid to extremely solid. Swoon implies that the stone has a slight sparkle that is hard to see under bright light. Exceptionally solid implies that the diamond transmits a profound gleam that is clear under bright light. The shade of the fluorescence can likewise change, albeit blue is the most widely recognized color. Yellow, green and white are different hues that a fluorescent diamond may display.

How Does Fluorescence Affect A Diamond?

Fluorescence generally has no impact on a diamond's appearance in standard lighting conditions. Sometimes, notwithstanding, a solid blue fluorescence can influence a yellow hued diamond to seem more white. In uncommon cases, it can make a stone seem smooth or slick.

Ideal Cut Diamonds

A perfect cut diamond is around, splendid, or princess slice diamond that is sliced to perfect extents and edges and has great polish and symmetry appraisals. A perfect cut diamond reflects all the light that enters it and is among the rarest cuts. The perfect cut diamond is utilized as a benchmark for evaluating every single other diamond. In America, perfect cut extents are regularly dictated by the American Gem Society Laboratory (AGSL), however unique nations and distinctive organizations base their concept of the perfect cut on various models.

Back in the 1900s, Belgian diamond figure, Marcel Tolkowsky, began the term-Ideal Cut. After investigating the round splendid cut diamond, he took both brightness (the measure of the white light reflected) and fire (the division of white light into its ghastly hues) into thought. While his figuring fills in as a guide for the present thought of the worldwide “perfect cut” benchmarks, nations have still made their own adjustments.

Tolkowsky's ideal cut is not perfect, but it nevertheless serves as a basic guideline for ideal cut diamonds. Today, we also use the guidelines of a gemstone cutter named Bruce Harding who developed another model in the 1970s as well as other computer models and technological scopes.

Ideal diamonds are perfectly proportioned to refract light, producing that fire and brilliance up through to the table and crown. There are at least six “ideal cuts” being used today but only three of them (including the one by Tolkowsky) are the most common. Diamond Guru, the premier diamond retailer, offers four cuts of diamonds, two of which are ideal.
