The truth is getting out but not the whole truth. Brilliance is actually a result of the inter-relationship between the angles and percentages and not any specific formula. Case in point: In the Fall Issue of Gems and Gemology, William Boyajian, President of GIA, stated in a twenty-six page article that there are many combinations of proportions that yield equally bright stones, and even suggests that the term ‘Ideal’ is misleading and should not be used. These statements are confirmed through brilliance scope analysis of thousands of diamonds and further research by GIA. Brilliance is a seemingly random thing. You cannot assume that your “Ideal” cut diamond will even be attractive. We’ve seen plenty that are only average looking. Even most branded (premium priced), diamonds focus on solely on symmetry so they get a Hearts and Arrows pattern but are often not that brilliant. The reason again is the inter-relationship of the angles not the specific angles. Our suggestion is to consider all your possibilities before you rely on just a name. Back to what makes a diamond beautiful…To make it very simple, a diamond either is beautiful or is isn’t. You can’t call it beautiful just because it has a name or brand attached to it. Through our desire to educate our customers and industry-changing technology we can, and do, quantify what has always been overlooked—Brilliance. Come in and check out our Brilliance Scope by Gemex technology. We’ll be glad to show you how it all works. |
