CUT

Taglio del diamante

The classic diamond cut shape is the round faceted one, called brilliant with 57 facets. Other common diamond cuts are:

  • marquise
  • drop
  • emerald
  • heart
  • princess
  • baguette

The cut is an important feature to determine the price, as the cost changes depending on the shape: the brilliant cut is the most expensive. But not all brilliant cuts are performed in the same way so it is important that the stone has an excellent cut, the right proportions and an excellent finish.

COLOUR

Colours are divided into the following classes: DEFGHILMNOPQR ….. Z. The colour corresponding to the letter D is the most “white” or better colorless in nature, as you go down into the alphabet they are less and less colorless until take on a yellow color. The letter Z is the border beyond which there are natural yellow stones (Fancy Color), more precious and rare. In addition to yellows, Fancy colors exist in various colors such as pink and blue. Color is a fundamental characteristic for determining the price, because the whiter they are and the higher their cost and fluorescence, i.e. when the stone is subjected to ultraviolet radiation it is possible that it highlights a phenomenon of light emission (fluorescence) which can be of various colors, but more easily blue and in various shades. They are more valuable if they exhibit zero or light fluorescence.

CLARITY

Purity is given by the absence of imperfections. The certifications are performed with a 10-magnifying lens, and the purity scale includes these classes: In reality, all the stones have imperfections due to crystalline inclusions, cracks or gemination lines. Certifications are performed by convention with a 10-magnifying lens, and the purity scale provides for these classes:

  • IF Internally flawless
  • VVS1, VVS2 Very very small inclusions
  • VS1 VS2 Very small inclusions
  • SI1 SI2 SI3 Small inclusions
  • I1 I2 I3 Piquè

CARAT WEIGHT

The weight is measured in carats. One carat is equivalent to 0.2 gr. Determinant for the calculation of the prices because expressed “per carat”, prices that increase with the increase of the weight of the stone exponentially by brackets.
