Filed Under Diamond Weights | 3 Comments
?PinkIce? asked:
I received this as a gift its a 14K diamond yellow gold pendant.
It has 8 diamonds in it. Four of the diamonds weight 0.040ct, the other 4 diamonds weight is 0.020ct. Six of the diamonds sizes is 1.45mm and the other two sizes is 1.4mm. They are all round. The origin is Africa. There is no chain so it would just be the pendant. The reason that I am wanting to sell it is that it is not my style. So if you could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

Courtney asked:
And what is the difference (chemically) between lab-created diamonds and natural diamonds. I heard that most diamond experts cannot tell the difference between natural diamonds and lab-created. Is this true?

chocolate_cat asked:
I want a square cut solitaire diamond ring for xmas and my bf is getting one for me but within a budget of around $300. I was wondering why all the round shaped ones cost so much less than the square ones. Also any tips in choosing the right ring? I don’t like gold but silver or white gold is fine. And his budget of around $300 is only because this is more of a promise ring and we’ve only been together for a little over a year. Thanks for all the input.

The Choices in Diamond Cuts
Filed Under Diamond Cuts | Leave a Comment
Diamonds are cut from stones in a wide variety of shapes know as cuts. While most stones can be cut into any of these shapes, for best effect the natural shape and qualities of the diamond itself will determine which shape is chosen.
If you are custom designing your own diamond jewelry or if you are shopping for an already designed piece, it is always helpful to have an understanding of the terminology used to describe the different cuts used for diamonds. The name of the cut refers to the shape of the diamond when viewed from above.
ROUND
One of the most common shapes for a diamond used on rings, pendants, bracelets or earrings is the round shape. The sides of the diamond are faceted to allow the light to reflect across the center of the diamond, creating the fire and sparkle that is the hallmark of a beautiful stone. Round diamond cuts are very popular for solitaire style rings and are ideal for stud type earrings.
PRINCESS
Another very common diamond cut for the large or center stone or in a solitaire style setting is the princess cut. This cut is the square to rectangular cut that is seen in many of the antique as well as modern settings. Diamonds used for the princess cut have to be superior in clarity to prevent the color from showing at the points or corners of the cut.
EMERALD
The emerald cut is a rounded rectangle with a pavilion or faceted side, typical of what you would see in a well-cut emerald gem. Like the princess cut, the emerald shape requires a very clear diamond of high quality to preserve the clarity of the stone.
ASSCHER
A less common cut is the asscher, which is a square version of the emerald cut.
MARQUIS
The marquise cut is an elongated shape with both the top and bottom ending in a noticeable point. This shape is ideal for enhancing the size of the solitaire diamond as it draws the eye along the cut of the side, giving the appearance of a much larger carat diamond. The marquise cut is seen in both older and more modern settings and can be accentuated with baguette style diamonds or gems.
PEAR
The pear shape is similar to the marquise but with one end rounded and one end pointed. This diamond cut can add a slimming and elongating effect to the ring finger and is considered one of the classic diamond shapes. Pear-shaped diamonds are also popular in earrings and necklaces where they give the impression of length.
HEART
Heart shaped diamond cuts have long been a romantic favorite. This type of cut does require at least a J quality diamond or above as with a lower quality gem the clarity will not be as distinct and the color may be more evident. Many of the colored diamonds look beautiful in the heart shape.
PILLOW
The pillow cut is a combination of the round and princess cut with lots of facets resulting in sparkle and fire. The cushion cut is one of the most common cuts seen on antique diamonds and is very popular in pendants and other large settings.
