INTRODUCTION TO DIAMOND

DIAMOND is the hardest substance on earth. It is a crystallized form of carbon.
Diamond derives its value from 3 elements.

A: Beauty     : Diamond has adamantine luster, brilliancy, dispersion (fire) and scintillation (sparkle)
B: Durability : Diamond is an extremely hard stone and cannot break easily unlike most other gems.
C: Rarity     : Its state the availability of gemstones like higher grades colourless & big size stone
                (Higher carat stone) are not found easily.

Loupe – A magnifying eyeglass to identify a real class and real value of diamond according to
        4Cs method.

Diamond Tester – Use of diamond tester is for identifying of real diamond.

THE VALUE OF DIAMONDS BASED ON 4Cs

1. CUT: The way diamond is cut and polished is vital. It is the precision and delicacy of the cut that
        dictates the maximum amount of light the diamond will refract & reflect. The better the
        diamond cut greater will be its brilliance, sparkle and fire.

Two types of shapes (cut of diamond) are:

1. Round brilliant Cut (RBC) – 57 facets
2. Fancy brilliant cut – The various fancy cut are Marquise, Pear, Oval, Princess, Baguette,
   Tapered Baguette, Emerald, Heart etc.

2. CLARITY: Refers to relative position of a diamond on a flawless to imperfect scale. A grade of
               diamond is flawless to rejection.(The total no. Clarity Grade is 11)

               Flawless (F), Internal flawless (IF), VVS1 (Very Very Small Inclusion), VVS2,
               VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, I1, I2, I3, Rejection


3. COLOUR: Most diamonds look colourless but there are many different shades. The diamond which
           is more colourless, it becomes more valuable.

               The following are grades of colour: D, EF, GH, IJ, KLM, NOPQR, STUVW, X and Y,
               Z, Z+ (Fancy colour, Pink, Golden, blue, etc) best quality of colour.

                                                                                                   3
4. CARAT: Carats are the traditional measuring unit of a diamond’s weight.

             One carat equaling 200 milligrams, in other words one gram equaling five carats.
             A carat is divided into 100 Cents (points) like one dollar divided into 100 cents,
             So the same diamond can be.

             The Carat weight, Clarity, Colour, and Cut determine the value of diamond.
             These parameters are called the 4Cs.
They are Inseparable and combine indefinitely.

1 carat = 100 cents or pointer

Size: Below 0.02 carat is called “Star” size
         Above 0.02 carat to 0.07 carat is called “Melee” size
         0.08 -0.10 +11&0.10 -0.15 Cents (+11 is a no. of sieve)
         20Cents to 1 carat & Above all sizes called SOLITAIRE (But in GIA 1 carat & above
         Size called SOLIAIRE diamond)

    Diamond Cutting Diamond Shapes
An uncut, unpolished diamond resembles a large crystal taken from the ashes of a fire. The
diamond cutter decides the final shape for the cut stone. Some possible shapes (top and side
views shown) are these:




           Round Brilliant     Emerald Cut       Baguette Cut      Marquise Cut
                 Cut




              Oval Cut         Flanders Cut      Princess Cut        Pear Cut




                                 Diamond Cutting
Diamonds can be cleaved or sawn. Cleaving takes a few seconds but it must be done with the
grain or the stone will break roughly and be ruined.

Most diamonds are sawn. In the sawing process, a bronze blade impregnated with diamond
dust spins at high speed to gradually cut through the stone. To saw through a one-carat
diamond might take eight hours. Diamonds can also be cut with a laser. After cleaving or
sawing is complete, the faceting takes place.


                                        Faceting
Faceting — cutting planes or faces onto the surface of the stone — is done with most
transparent gemstones. The purpose is to let light pass through and be reflected and refracted
from faces on the back of the stone. Faceted cuts are precisely designed to show off the gem
to best advantage. The diagram shows the facets of a round stone.




For a discussion of the importance of good proportions in a faceted diamond, see The 4 Cs of
Diamonds: Cut Proportions.

In faceting a diamond, waste is unavoidable. The average weight loss is about 50% percent,
though more or less of the rough may be lost based on cutting proportions. Poorly
proportioned stones retain more weight while the best proportions require greater loss of
weight. Diamond price can vary as much as 50% between two stones, equal in all respects
except cut proportions.


                           Where diamonds are cut
Major cutting industries are in:

    •   Antwerp and Tel Aviv, where many of the fancy shapes — pear shaped, marquise, etc.
        — are cut;

    •   New York City, where many of the larger (3-10 carat) diamonds are cut;

    •   Bombay, where, because of low labor costs, most smaller and lower quality stones are
        cut; and

    •   Russia, which specializes in cutting stones from its own mines, which produce much of
        the world's higher-valued rough diamond.
Round Brilliant: The most common style of cutting both diamonds and colored stones. The
standard round brilliant consists of 57 facets; 1 table, 8 bezel facets, 8 star facets 16 upper-girdle
facets on the crown; 8 pavilion facets, 16 lower girdle facets; and usually a culet on the pavilion.
Modifications of the round brilliant include such fancy shapes as the marquise, half moon, pear shape
and many others.




         Pear: A variation of the Brilliant cut, combining the Round and Marquise cuts, with 58 facets
to only 56 facets (when the pavilion facets at the head and tail are eliminated). Shoulders should
have a gently but distinctly rounded arch. Common length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.50-1.75.




         Oval: A brilliant style of cutting very similar to a Round except it is elliptical. It was invented
by Lazare Kaplan in the early 1960s. Oval brilliant usually has 56 or 57 facets. Beware of uneven or
high shoulders (they should have a gently but distinctly rounded arch). Typical length-to-width ratio: 1
to 1.30-1.65.




         Marquise: This shape has a boat shaped girdle with 57 facets. The shape and placement of
the facets is of the brilliant type. The name "Marquise" came from a legend of the Marquise of
Pompadour that the Sun King wanted a Diamond to be polished into the shape of the mouth of the
Marquise. Look for uneven "wings" or undefined points. Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.75-2.25.




         Emerald: This 50 facet shape is usually A form of step cutting. It is usually rectangular
but sometimes may be square (referred to as "Asscher" cut), in which case it is known as a square
emerald cut. It has rows (steps) of elongated facets on the crown and pavilion, parallel to the girdle,
and with corner facets. The number of rows of elongated facets may vary, although the usual number
is three on the crown and three on the pavilion. Inclusions are slightly more visible in "step-cut"
shapes relative to "brilliant styles. Look for too narrow or missing corners. The beveled corners
protect the stone and make it easier to set. Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.30-1.70.




          Princess (also the patented Quadrillion): Is a relatively new shape and generally has 70 to
76 facets (no culet). Normally it is close to a square shape (+ or - 10%), but may come in elongated
versions. Watch out for girdles which are extremely thin and thus prone to chipping. Typical length-
to-width ratio: 1 to 1.00-1.10.




         Radiant: Rectangular or square stone with cut corners. The original patented cut has 70
ROUND

            This 58 facet symmetrical shape can display the greatest amount of sparkle with a balance between the
            amount of white flashes of light and colored flashes of light. It is the benchmark shape all others are
            compared to and the only one that has internationally recognized cut grades. Generally, rounds are the
            most expensive but can offer the greatest amount of sparkle per dollar.

            FANCY SHAPES

These shapes are usually less expensive because the rough diamonds used to produce them are more common and
generally less costly. Over the past 20 years, new shapes and facet arrangements have been introduced to increase
the use, appeal and value of rough diamonds that would be traditionally difficult to market.

Choosing a properly proportioned fancy shaped diamond is much more complex than a round shape. Most fancy
shapes cannot sparkle like a well-cut round. The facets of fancy shaped diamonds are elongated, asymmetrical, and
can deviate greatly from the ideal, causing light to leak out the diamond's bottom. This also causes small multi-
colored flashes of light to be concentrated in pointed areas and larger flashes to occur in rounded or elongated
areas.

A "bowtie" shaped area of diminished sparkle can span the center width of most fancy shapes. This consequence has
the least negative effect when it is narrow and very light gray (it is rarely colorless or invisible). A dark and
pronounced bowtie will decrease the value and beauty by more than 20%.

Another important consideration unique to fancy shapes is the length and width ratio (L: W), calculated by dividing
the diamond's length by the diamond's width. Many other considerations are structural deficiencies such as thin
edges near pointed areas and uneven or bulged shape outlines.
Unlike round diamonds, cut grades of fancy shapes do not exist. We employ sophisticated methods that accurately
predict and demonstrate how the sparkle of one set of ratios and proportions will compare quantitatively to another.
Less desirable fat or thin shapes are produced from irregular (and less costly) shaped rough diamonds. They are
also produced by cutters who intentionally grind as little of the rough diamond away as possible to retain excess
weight for higher profits. This excess weight and material does not contribute to beauty and therefore should not
contribute to higher value.

You will find our expertise to be very helpful in choosing any fancy shape as well as a round diamond.
OVAL
This 57 facet shape is an elongated round and therefore displays a similar kind
of sparkle. Avoid squarish stones. An oval's preferred L: W ratio is 1.33:1 -
1.66:1




Ratio 1:1.25 Ratio 1:1.33      Ratio 1:1.50     Ratio 1:1.66    Ratio 1:1.75




MARQUISE
This 58-facet shape is most sought after with a L: W ratio of 2:1. Doubling
some of the facets in the pavilion minimizes the bowtie effect. Marquises with
L: W ratios of near 1.75:1 or 2.25:1 are in higher supply and less expensive.
Look out for sharp girdle edges and thin end points, which could make this
shape diamond prone to damage.

  • 4. 2 TRAINING OBJECTIVE 1. To ensure participants are fully skilled to handle sale of Pure Diamond 2. At the end of session the participants should have complete knowledge of Pure Diamond INTRODUCTION TO DIAMOND DIAMOND is the hardest substance on earth. It is a crystallized form of carbon. Diamond derives its value from 3 elements. A: Beauty : Diamond has adamantine luster, brilliancy, dispersion (fire) and scintillation (sparkle) B: Durability : Diamond is an extremely hard stone and cannot break easily unlike most other gems. C: Rarity : Its state the availability of gemstones like higher grades colourless & big size stone (Higher carat stone) are not found easily. Loupe – A magnifying eyeglass to identify a real class and real value of diamond according to 4Cs method. Diamond Tester – Use of diamond tester is for identifying of real diamond. THE VALUE OF DIAMONDS BASED ON 4Cs 1. CUT: The way diamond is cut and polished is vital. It is the precision and delicacy of the cut that dictates the maximum amount of light the diamond will refract & reflect. The better the diamond cut greater will be its brilliance, sparkle and fire. Two types of shapes (cut of diamond) are: 1. Round brilliant Cut (RBC) – 57 facets 2. Fancy brilliant cut – The various fancy cut are Marquise, Pear, Oval, Princess, Baguette, Tapered Baguette, Emerald, Heart etc. 2. CLARITY: Refers to relative position of a diamond on a flawless to imperfect scale. A grade of diamond is flawless to rejection.(The total no. Clarity Grade is 11) Flawless (F), Internal flawless (IF), VVS1 (Very Very Small Inclusion), VVS2, VS1, VS2, SI1, SI2, I1, I2, I3, Rejection 3. COLOUR: Most diamonds look colourless but there are many different shades. The diamond which is more colourless, it becomes more valuable. The following are grades of colour: D, EF, GH, IJ, KLM, NOPQR, STUVW, X and Y, Z, Z+ (Fancy colour, Pink, Golden, blue, etc) best quality of colour. 3
  • 5. 4. CARAT: Carats are the traditional measuring unit of a diamond’s weight. One carat equaling 200 milligrams, in other words one gram equaling five carats. A carat is divided into 100 Cents (points) like one dollar divided into 100 cents, So the same diamond can be. The Carat weight, Clarity, Colour, and Cut determine the value of diamond. These parameters are called the 4Cs. They are Inseparable and combine indefinitely. 1 carat = 100 cents or pointer Size: Below 0.02 carat is called “Star” size Above 0.02 carat to 0.07 carat is called “Melee” size 0.08 -0.10 +11&0.10 -0.15 Cents (+11 is a no. of sieve) 20Cents to 1 carat & Above all sizes called SOLITAIRE (But in GIA 1 carat & above Size called SOLIAIRE diamond) How to find an average size in studded diamond jewellery as below size 1.

  • 15. An uncut, unpolished diamond resembles a large crystal taken from the ashes of a fire. The diamond cutter decides the final shape for the cut stone. Some possible shapes (top and side views shown) are these: Round Brilliant Emerald Cut Baguette Cut Marquise Cut Cut Oval Cut Flanders Cut Princess Cut Pear Cut Diamond Cutting Diamonds can be cleaved or sawn. Cleaving takes a few seconds but it must be done with the grain or the stone will break roughly and be ruined. Most diamonds are sawn. In the sawing process, a bronze blade impregnated with diamond dust spins at high speed to gradually cut through the stone. To saw through a one-carat
  • 16. diamond might take eight hours. Diamonds can also be cut with a laser. After cleaving or sawing is complete, the faceting takes place. Faceting Faceting — cutting planes or faces onto the surface of the stone — is done with most transparent gemstones. The purpose is to let light pass through and be reflected and refracted from faces on the back of the stone. Faceted cuts are precisely designed to show off the gem to best advantage. The diagram shows the facets of a round stone. For a discussion of the importance of good proportions in a faceted diamond, see The 4 Cs of Diamonds: Cut Proportions. In faceting a diamond, waste is unavoidable. The average weight loss is about 50% percent, though more or less of the rough may be lost based on cutting proportions. Poorly proportioned stones retain more weight while the best proportions require greater loss of weight. Diamond price can vary as much as 50% between two stones, equal in all respects except cut proportions. Where diamonds are cut Major cutting industries are in: • Antwerp and Tel Aviv, where many of the fancy shapes — pear shaped, marquise, etc. — are cut; • New York City, where many of the larger (3-10 carat) diamonds are cut; • Bombay, where, because of low labor costs, most smaller and lower quality stones are cut; and • Russia, which specializes in cutting stones from its own mines, which produce much of the world's higher-valued rough diamond.
  • 17. Round Brilliant: The most common style of cutting both diamonds and colored stones. The standard round brilliant consists of 57 facets; 1 table, 8 bezel facets, 8 star facets 16 upper-girdle facets on the crown; 8 pavilion facets, 16 lower girdle facets; and usually a culet on the pavilion. Modifications of the round brilliant include such fancy shapes as the marquise, half moon, pear shape and many others. Pear: A variation of the Brilliant cut, combining the Round and Marquise cuts, with 58 facets to only 56 facets (when the pavilion facets at the head and tail are eliminated). Shoulders should have a gently but distinctly rounded arch. Common length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.50-1.75. Oval: A brilliant style of cutting very similar to a Round except it is elliptical. It was invented by Lazare Kaplan in the early 1960s. Oval brilliant usually has 56 or 57 facets. Beware of uneven or high shoulders (they should have a gently but distinctly rounded arch). Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.30-1.65. Marquise: This shape has a boat shaped girdle with 57 facets. The shape and placement of the facets is of the brilliant type. The name "Marquise" came from a legend of the Marquise of Pompadour that the Sun King wanted a Diamond to be polished into the shape of the mouth of the Marquise. Look for uneven "wings" or undefined points. Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.75-2.25. Emerald: This 50 facet shape is usually A form of step cutting. It is usually rectangular but sometimes may be square (referred to as "Asscher" cut), in which case it is known as a square emerald cut. It has rows (steps) of elongated facets on the crown and pavilion, parallel to the girdle, and with corner facets. The number of rows of elongated facets may vary, although the usual number is three on the crown and three on the pavilion. Inclusions are slightly more visible in "step-cut" shapes relative to "brilliant styles. Look for too narrow or missing corners. The beveled corners protect the stone and make it easier to set. Typical length-to-width ratio: 1 to 1.30-1.70. Princess (also the patented Quadrillion): Is a relatively new shape and generally has 70 to 76 facets (no culet). Normally it is close to a square shape (+ or - 10%), but may come in elongated versions. Watch out for girdles which are extremely thin and thus prone to chipping. Typical length- to-width ratio: 1 to 1.00-1.10. Radiant: Rectangular or square stone with cut corners. The original patented cut has 70
  • 18. ROUND This 58 facet symmetrical shape can display the greatest amount of sparkle with a balance between the amount of white flashes of light and colored flashes of light. It is the benchmark shape all others are compared to and the only one that has internationally recognized cut grades. Generally, rounds are the most expensive but can offer the greatest amount of sparkle per dollar. FANCY SHAPES These shapes are usually less expensive because the rough diamonds used to produce them are more common and generally less costly. Over the past 20 years, new shapes and facet arrangements have been introduced to increase the use, appeal and value of rough diamonds that would be traditionally difficult to market. Choosing a properly proportioned fancy shaped diamond is much more complex than a round shape. Most fancy shapes cannot sparkle like a well-cut round. The facets of fancy shaped diamonds are elongated, asymmetrical, and can deviate greatly from the ideal, causing light to leak out the diamond's bottom. This also causes small multi- colored flashes of light to be concentrated in pointed areas and larger flashes to occur in rounded or elongated areas. A "bowtie" shaped area of diminished sparkle can span the center width of most fancy shapes. This consequence has the least negative effect when it is narrow and very light gray (it is rarely colorless or invisible). A dark and pronounced bowtie will decrease the value and beauty by more than 20%. Another important consideration unique to fancy shapes is the length and width ratio (L: W), calculated by dividing the diamond's length by the diamond's width. Many other considerations are structural deficiencies such as thin edges near pointed areas and uneven or bulged shape outlines.
  • 19. Unlike round diamonds, cut grades of fancy shapes do not exist. We employ sophisticated methods that accurately predict and demonstrate how the sparkle of one set of ratios and proportions will compare quantitatively to another. Less desirable fat or thin shapes are produced from irregular (and less costly) shaped rough diamonds. They are also produced by cutters who intentionally grind as little of the rough diamond away as possible to retain excess weight for higher profits. This excess weight and material does not contribute to beauty and therefore should not contribute to higher value. You will find our expertise to be very helpful in choosing any fancy shape as well as a round diamond.
  • 20. OVAL This 57 facet shape is an elongated round and therefore displays a similar kind of sparkle. Avoid squarish stones. An oval's preferred L: W ratio is 1.33:1 - 1.66:1 Ratio 1:1.25 Ratio 1:1.33 Ratio 1:1.50 Ratio 1:1.66 Ratio 1:1.75 MARQUISE This 58-facet shape is most sought after with a L: W ratio of 2:1. Doubling some of the facets in the pavilion minimizes the bowtie effect. Marquises with L: W ratios of near 1.75:1 or 2.25:1 are in higher supply and less expensive. Look out for sharp girdle edges and thin end points, which could make this shape diamond prone to damage. Ratio 1:1.50 Ratio 1:1.75 Ratio 1:2.00. Ratio 1:2.25 Ratio 1:2.33
