Cut
|
Achieving a
perfect diamond cut is all about heightening its ability to transmit light,
which is determined by the diamond's proportions, symmetry, and polish. This is
what ultimately results in a diamond with maximal value and colorful, sparkling
beauty. The more light that is reflected back to the eye of the observer, the
more striking the diamond's appearance. Crucial to determining how well a
diamond interacts with light is calculating its proportions – that is, the
relationship between the shape, size, and angle of each of a diamond's facets
(polished surfaces on any side) – which produces three primary visual effects:
1. Brilliance: all of the combined white light, from the
interior to the surface, reflected from a diamond
2. Fire: the dispersion of the white light into
rainbow-like colors
3. Scintillation: the sparkle a diamond produces when
light and dark areas are reflected onto each other
The depth of the diamond, or the distance between the
culet (top) and the table (bottom), mediates how light passes through. If a
diamond is too shallow or too deep, the light refracts and escapes through the
bottom where it is not visible to the observer. Therefore, attaining the best
light performance requires crafting the ideal proportions for the light to be reflected
back to the surface.

You will need to calibrate your screen. To do so, just place a credit card or driver's license on the screen as indicated and then drag sliders so that they fit the card. Establishing the width of the card is essenttial for the ring sizer to work accurately.
There are two methods of finding your ring size:
1. Use any ring that fits the finger you plan to wear your new ring on and place it over the circles. Match the ring to the circle that completely fills the inside of the ring without overlapping. The size written inside the matching circle is your ring size.
2. Use our virtual ruler to find your ring size. First, cut a thin strip of paper that can comfortably wrap around the base of the appropriate finger. Mark the spot on the paper where it completes a circle. Place the strip of paper against the ruler and match your size.
