Fine Jewellery Diamond Cut
Choosing fine jewellery is really more of a scientific choice than based on something you think is beautiful, especially if you are looking for an investment. When you choose your next fine jewellery piece you might consider the diamond cut before you make the purchase. At Hancocks Jewellers there are plenty of available staff members more than happy to help you understand the diamond cut, clarity, colour, and carat, or the 4C’s. Sometimes though, it is best to go armed with the information.
We, at Hancocks Jewellers want you to understand the diamond cut of our white diamond jewellery. To begin the diamond cuts will refer to how the diamond is shaped from the rough. The cut is often a very important aspect of the fine jewellery because it determines the brilliance of the diamond. If you want a diamond that will sparkle you need to choose the correct cut for the effect. You have three cuts: shallow, ideal, and deep.
Fine jewellery designers such as those at Hancocks Jewellers will use a Sarin Machine to determine the cut of the diamond. They will measure the cuts by using the optical device to give it the correct proportions. There are cut grades to diamonds. You have poor, fair, good, very good, and excellent. At fine jewellery Manchester Hancocks Jewellers you can expect nothing lower than good for a cut grade. The cut grades are based on the Gemmological Institute of America. The ideal cut is going to be the excellent to very good range. The ideal cut means the diamond is not too shallow or deep to lose its lustre. You will normally find the round cut to be 5 to 10 percent when considered ideal.
Symmetry of the diamond is also imperative to determining the diamond cut. The symmetry helps the diamond facets to shine. It basically shows how much of the light will be returned to the eye for the gem to sparkle. You have the same ratings for symmetry as you do for diamond cut.
Polish grade is your last choice in diamond cut to consider. The polish grade is not as important as the cut or symmetry of the white diamond. It only has a small part in the light shown from the diamond. You still want a decent polish to your diamond to ensure the best look for your fine jewellery piece from Hancocks Jewellers.
