Brilliant Cut Diamonds
Overview
The brilliance of a diamond is a topic that has intrigued experts for years. But what precisely defines a "brilliant cut" diamond?
Defining a Brilliant Cut
Is it about how far you can see the diamond with the naked eye, or is it about its symmetry and smoothness? The standards for determining a brilliant cut may vary. Should we follow AGA, HCA, AGS, or GIA guidelines? The GIA, for instance, conducted an extensive study involving 20,000 proportions and 70,000 observations on 2,000 diamonds.
The Importance of Brilliance
What makes a brilliant cut so coveted? Is it its beauty or its monetary value? Brilliance refers to how a diamond reflects light by allowing it to enter, interact with its angles, and return to the eye. This involves understanding how light behaves?"reflecting or refracting?"through the diamond's facets.
The Classic Brilliant Cut
A classic brilliant cut diamond typically has 58 facets, or 57 if the culet is excluded. It includes 33 facets on the crown and 25 on the pavilion. Historically, early versions like the Mazarin had only 17 crown facets, while Peruzzi increased it to 33, marking milestones in brilliant cut evolution.
Variations and Evolution
Over time, various forms like the oval, pear, and marquise cuts have emerged, each gaining prominence in the diamond industry. These variations continue to reflect the brilliance and allure of this timeless gem.
In essence, the brilliance of a diamond is a captivating blend of precise cutting and expert craftsmanship, making it not only a symbol of beauty but also a valuable asset.
