Το Diamond Cut αναφέρεται συγκεκριμένα στην ποιότητα των γωνιών ενός διαμαντιού, αναλογίες, συμμετρικές όψεις, λαμπρότητα, φωτιά, λεπτομέρειες σπινθηρισμού και φινιρίσματος. Αυτοί οι παράγοντες επηρεάζουν άμεσα την ικανότητα ενός διαμαντιού να λάμπει, μαζί με τη συνολική αισθητική του γοητεία. Για παράδειγμα, ρίξτε μια ματιά σε αυτό το όμορφο διαμάντι και αυτή τη φρικτή επιλογή. The only issue differentiating the two is the cut.
The GIA grades Diamond Cut on the scale of Ideal, Εξοχος, Πολύ καλό, Καλός, Fair and Poor. The Ideal and Excellent grades, depending on Diamond Shape, signify proportions and angles cut for maximum brilliance and fire.
Cuts vary significantly among diamonds and diamond cutters. At times, a cutter may aim for maximum Carat weight, leaving the diamond too deep or too shallow for optimal light reflection. Other times a diamond may be cut to minimize the number of inclusions, improving its Clarity, but forgoing maximum sparkle. Even an Ideal cut diamond may have a yellow tint that is too noticeable and detracts from the gem’s beauty.
Πιο σημαντικό, αν και, is ensuring Cut is a focal point of your diamond selection. Even a pristine 2 Carat Diamond with no blemishes or color tinting can be dull if it’s not cut exceptionally well. Cut is the biggest indicator of beauty, and should be made priority over the other C’s. As an example, αυτό 1.50 Carat Round Brilliant is graded well for each “C” but lacks a vivacious sparkle.
It’s essential to note that a top grade designation, like Excellent, doesn’t necessarily indicate an outstanding diamond cut. Almost 55% of all diamonds sold online are Excellent cuts. Some are stunning, while others are mediocre. An example of an exquisite Excellent cut diamond is this 1.5 Carat Round Brilliant from James Allen.
Because Cut is so important to a diamond’s fundamental beauty, it’s crucial to review a diamond’s Cut carefully and ask for the
eye of an expert.
