Unforgettable Diamonds with the 4 Cs
The diamond cut is the defining feature of a diamond, as it affects its look and plays an important role in how light interacts with the stone. We believe in excellency and always strive to ensure your diamond is cut in such a way that it maximises its beauty and sparkle.
We’ve gathered a little bit of information on each cut here for you to dip your toes.
Round brilliant diamonds are best known for their symmetry and sparkle. They feature 58 facets that reflect light in many directions to create an eye-catching display of brilliance. Princess cut diamonds have square or rectangular shapes with pointed corners that give them an edgy modern appeal.
Cushion cut diamonds have an old-world charm with a soft pillow shape and rounded corners.
Emerald cut diamonds are typically rectangular with step-cut faceting which produces a unique effect of reflection that enhances the clarity of the diamond.
Radiant cut diamonds use a combination of round and emerald cuts to produce a special geometric pattern that reflects light from every angle.
Asscher cut diamonds feature 57 facets which create a dramatic effect of light reflecting off each facet like tiny mirrors.
The shape and proportions of each diamond can affect how much sparkle it creates when exposed to light.
Princess cut diamonds have more pronounced vertical edges compared to other squares or rectangles which creates greater contrast between dark and bright areas, this additional depth gives them added vibrancy.
Emerald, cushion and radiant cuts also feature unique faceting patterns which help enhance their brilliance even further by cutting through different angles when exposed to various kinds of lights; this allows these cuts to showcase the clarity of their stones much better than some other diamond shapes .
Carats measure the mass or weight of a diamond and this is where we can really be helpful in choosing your specific design.
We will show you a selection of different stones to see how they vary in terms of their size and choose which suits you best.
Clarity is assessed based on the size, number, position and nature of any blemishes within the stone. It is important to understand that the fewer blemishes a diamond has, the higher its clarity grade will be, therefore creating a more valuable diamond. The grades clarity from flawless (FL) to included (I3).
Colour is another important factor when looking for diamonds as this also affects its value. Colour values range from D-Z; D being completely colourless whereas Z having a light yellow or brown hue. Generally speaking, diamonds with no colour are more valuable and rare yet many customers prefer to have a slight hint of hue within their stone for its uniqueness.
It is essential to keep in mind that these factors will directly impact not only its price but also its beauty and overall quality.
Choosing the right cut, carat colour and clarity for your bespoke diamond engagement ring is an incredibly personal experience. It all comes down to your personal preferences as a couple. After you have gone through the options with our team at Philippe Harold you will be presented with a selection of stunning diamonds to choose from – creating a diamond engagement ring that symbolises all the things that are special about your relationship and love itself!
