-Cutting a diamond is the way to bring the dull raw diamond stone to life.

The diamond is shaped, cut and polished; many diamond cutting procedures are even patented. How deep the raw diamond is cut, how the facets are arranged and so on is quite a scientific process these days.

Even diamonds of the same shape vary according how the facet are cut and arranged. A very good and exceptional beautiful example is the Asscher and Princess Diamonds cuts, both are square-shaped diamonds with different facet arrangements.

The arrangement of the crystal molecules in the diamond finally determine the shape and cutting of the diamond. If the molecules of the diamond are arranged in an octagonal pattern, it will be cut as a round diamond. Many times, two round diamonds are cut from the same original crystal. If the crystal molecules are arranged in a macer configuration, the diamond is cut as marquise or oval diamond.

An emerald cut diamond is a rectangle cut with longer, flat facets. If the diamond is not clear enough, an emerald cutting can cause the diamond to appear cloudy. Comparing to the emerald cutting, a similar cut diamond is the Asscher diamond cut. It is a multiple square cutting and looks like a spider web with straight lines when viewed from above.

Pear shaped or tear shaped diamond cut is self-explanatory. This diamonds are oval being wider at one end and curves to a point at the other end.

Another diamond cutting is the marquise diamond cut. A marquise diamond cut can maximize the carat weight of a stone with a longer and

flatter cut, but the diamond is still highly faceted. Marquise cut diamonds comes in different length-to-width ratios.

A modern round cut brilliant diamond stone has 58 facets, or 57 if the tiny bottom facet, the culet, is not counted. A exception is the princess cut, which is a square diamond with pointed corners.

Diamond cut simply refers to how well a diamond is cut to achieve maximum carat size and brilliance, means the glittering fire and sparkles popping from the diamond when you turn your diamond in the light.

Four factors are actually involved in a diamond cut, proportion, finish, symmetry and polish.

Proportions of a diamond cut have to

do with the horizontal width compared to the depth. The horizontal width is also known as table or flat surface of a diamond and the depth has to do with the dimension of the diamond from top to bottom. A excellent table to depth ratio will give a great reflection of the light back to the surface.

The symmetry of a diamond is how well the facets of a diamond match. If facets don't match light entering the diamond will leak out on sides and not be good reflected to the surface.

A very popular diamond cut has its name from Joseph Asscher, called Asscher Cut,

a diamond cutter, who brought the 3,106 carat Cullinan diamond to life, created and patented the Asscher Cut in 1902.

The shape of a Asscher cut diamond is a square and is step cut with an octagonal outline and distinctive reflection wide cut corners are characterized by concentric square patterns.

A Asscher cut diamond has a small table, a high crown, wide step facets, a deep pavilion and square culet.

An Asscher shape diamond is cut with several parallel steps, creating a multi mirrors effect when looking into the stone. The steps in a Asscher cut diamond create more internal refraction and diamond fire than typical step cut stones, such as a emerald cut.

Because of its high crown and small table, Asscher cut diamonds have more light and fire than an emerald cut diamond. Asscher cut diamonds are very popular in art deco jewelry. Some of the most beautiful and famous diamonds in the world are Asscher and princess cut diamonds.

-Diamond Cut

Diamond cutting is a real art. Imaging to create this unique piece of a a fabulous princess cut diamond out of a semi transparent stone which looks like nothing before and afterwards all this glitter and fire of light.

Diamond cutting was probably first performed on the Indian subcontinent by some creative people. European traveler to India got the basic idea from the Indians but it was not until around the sixteenth century that anything sophisticated was done probably because no effective material existed to to cut and polish a diamond.

Early attempts to cut diamonds were called rose cuts because they somehow followed the pattern of a rose. That means triangular shaped facets cut in a pattern on the top of the diamond. The bottom of the diamond was left flat for mounting.

Only in the 20th century the diamond cutting technology started to be available reflecting light in various. In the 21th century computer modeling is often used to help determine the cut of a diamond. Modern diamond cutting is a symbiosis of art and science.

In the Diamond mine they are just a simple shiny little rock, 98 percent of the brilliance of modern cut diamonds comes from the cut not by the clarity, means the cut of the diamond is very important. The cut or the creation of diamonds as a piece of jewelry includes 3 factors.

First is the proportions of the diamond cuts relative to the whole diamond stone. How is the polishing of a diamond and third the symmetry of the diamonds facets. This three parameter determine how the light is reflected out of the cut diamond.

There is a certain international terminology used around diamonds. Its the table, crown, crown angle, girdle, pavilion, pavilion depth plus pavilion angle. The top most flat part is called the table. The largest diameter of the diamond is called the girdle. This top part of the diamond from the girdle up to the table is the crown and crown height. The crown angle means the depth of this part of the diamond and the angle from the girdle up to the table.

The part of the diamond not visible when you looking down at a diamond is the pavilion, this is from the girdle down to the bottom of the diamond, the bottom of the diamond is usually pointed. The distance from the girdle down to this point is called the pavilion depth and the angle from the girdle edge to that point is the pavilion angle.

The diamond is finally graded as good, very good, excellent. Another parameter important to a excellent diamond cut is the symmetry of a diamond, this is the shape, size and the proportions of the facets.

Some other important diamond parameter are, have all facets a consistent shape? Do the points of one facet align perfect with the next facet? Are the lines of the cuts straight or ? Are the facets flat? These more or less define the value of a modern cut diamond.
