Un diamant taille Carré, comme une coupe princesse, est de forme carrée, avec des coins pointus à 90 degrés. Il s'agit d'un aspect vulnérable de la coupe Carré car ces coins sont susceptibles d'être ébréchés ou endommagés s'ils sont frappés fort..
This is why a protective setting like a halo or bezel setting is best for a Carre diamond. If you go with a prong setting, ensure that the prongs are placed at the four corners to protect the points, like this princess cut diamond ring.
Carre cuts display very good fire, especially when viewed under natural light sources like sunlight or even candlelight. Cependant, if you’re looking for sparkle, this cut isn’t the best for you. Carre cuts have reduced sparkle and can even appear almost glass-like.
In terms of clarity and color, a Carre cut diamond shows inclusions and any color tints easily and isn’t a forgiving cut. Ce, encore, is due to the wide open facets of the cut. Par conséquent, it’s important to choose a diamond with no visible inclusions and with good color.
