Precision, Elegance and Focus.

Nothing is more alluring than a being who is more controlled and in the moment. I’m always fascinated with a black panther for her precision and movement. The way she moves, not because she wants to be careful but to ensure her powerful presence disturbs the surrounding. Her presence makes a statement. Just like a precisely cut diamond.

precisely cut Diamond adds value, the luminous brilliance comes through precision cuts. We pay a premiuim for color and clarity, and Cut is what adds added value to the most precious stone on earth.

D3 Diamonds. Be a statement. Overthrow your surrounding with your presence.

Of the diamond 4C’s there is one that is critical. According to GIA, “Cut quality is the factor that fuels a diamond’s fire, sparkle and brilliance. The allure and beauty of a particular diamond depends more on cut quality than anything else.”

Diamond cut craftmanship determines the diamond’s ability to handle light optimally. Defects in cut quality will result in diminished light performance and will ultimately affect a diamond’s beauty and value.

GIA assesses the cut quality, to round brilliant diamonds and the grading system in broad. It’s based upon predefined tables into which averaged and rounded measurements are input and matched top a grade.

Deciding on the color and clarity can be easy. As long as you are clear about the quality you wish to achieve it should be an easy feat. We have all been conditioned to think that “bigger is better”, but that is NOT SO.

It seems counter intuitive, but often the diamond bigger in size is not actually the best value for your money. The reason is that the ‘value’ is really defined by the fire and sparkle of the diamond which are both controlled by the quality of the CUT. Often, diamonds are cut to maximize carat size or weight, while sacrificing beauty in the trade off.

A cutter can precisely do these to maximize economic yield

1. Doesn’t cut overly deeply and leaves a thick gridle around the perimeter. His calculation is more about self-interest rather than optimizing the diamond for light performance basically fire and brilliance.
2. Depending on the size and quality of the rough diamond, the cutter may be able to charge more for the finished diamond if he takes liberty with the cut and keeps the size or carat weight larger. Reason being, market tends to value carat over cut.
3. Larger diamonds can be sold for premiums, especially those that maintain certain numbers such as 1 carat or 2 carat.

What is the REAL problem here?

The problem is that the liberties that cutters take for the sake of increased size negatively impacts the diamond’s optics. The proportioning and faceting precision of the diamond will determine the quantity and quality of the light that catches the eye. Compromises in cut quality will result in diminished beauty.

Diamonds cut to maximize weight often to look visually smaller than diamonds cut for beauty as light return may not extend from edge to edge as it does in excellent cut diamonds. Excellent cut diamonds also tend to look whiter than commercial cuts because more ambient light from the environment is channeled back to the eye, masking some of the body color of the diamond.
