ABOUT DIAMOND CUTS
Any cut except for the round cut (57 facets) is considered a fancy cut. A diamond's maximum brilliance and light play are obtained by using precise proportions, calculated according to a specific formula that takes into account the diameter of the surface and diameter of the stone.
The «Round» Cut
The best way to show the brilliance
and play of light in a stone and minimize the risk of external damage.
The «Pear» (Teardrop) Cut
This cut visually resembles a teardrop. A stone like this has distinct
symmetry in the point of contraction, as that is where the play of
light is concentrated.
The «Marquis» Cut
This cut is an oval with pointed ends, similar to a boat. It was
created in France in the mid-18th century.
The «Princess» Cut
This rectangular cut is the second most popular cut for diamonds. It
was created in the 1980’s by jeweler Betzalel Ambar, who branded the
original version with 49 edges as the "Quadrillion". The brilliance of
the "princess" is equal to that of round diamonds, but at the same
time, after the cut, about 80% of the stone is preserved.
The «Baguette» Cut
The modern version of this cut appeared in the early 20th century. It
takes its name from the French word "bague" which, before the 17th
century, referred to gemstones in general.
The «Heart» Cut
One of the most complex and expensive forms of the wedge cut. It is
often used in exclusive jewelry.
The «Octagon» Cut
Originally, this cut was meant for emeralds, but later sapphires and
other stones were also cut in this way. The light that falls on the
surface of a stone with this cut is reflected in broad, bright
flashes.
The «Oval» Cut
This cut is different from the round cut in that it maintains the
weight of the stone. The elongated shape gives the illusion of a
larger stone and is especially attractive on rings.
