Diamond Tutorial

What you need to know before buying a diamond

In the following pages you will learn about diamonds and the things you need to know if you're buying a diamond in the near future.

This brief tutorial will address each of the "4C's", will give you a solid understanding of each, showing how relate to the actual physical beauty diamond, and show how each of these characteristics influence the price and availability of diamonds.

Why people buy diamonds?

When shopping for the perfect diamond, the tone of the experience very often can overwhelm the initial motivation and intent to buy the diamond. Diamonds are the epitome of love from one person to another. A diamond is a symbol lifelong commitment and devotion. Here at Emma Parker & Co., we see a diamond "Love ... Supported ..."!

What are the 4 C's "?

The "4 C" are the four most common characteristics about diamonds, which coincidentally, all begin with the letter "C".

They are:

Cut

Color

Clarity

Carat Weight

The importance and impact of each of these sections is discussed next.

CUT

Anatomy a diamond

Before cutting the understanding, it is important to understand the different parts of a diamond. This allows you to understand how each part of the diamond affects the visual beauty of diamonds to the naked eye.

The diamonds are divided into three main sections. These sections are called the crown (the top of the diamond), waist (the band that wraps around the diamond), and the pavilion (the bottom of the diamond). See Figure 1.

Figure 1

GREEN LIGHT is the crown of the diamond.

WHITE is the girdle of the diamond.

DARK GREEN is the pavilion of the diamond.

The crown and the pavilion is made up of external surfaces called facets. These facets act as mirrors, reflecting light that hits them. It is the combination of these aspects that either will cause the diamond to reflect light (back light) or to allow light to pass through (light leakage). Every facet and every facet group has a purpose and specific role in affecting the appearance of the diamond. See Figures 2 and 3 below:

Figure 2

This is the crown of the diamond.

The target is the square of diamond.

BLACK STAR FACETS is the diamond.

GREEN LIGHT BEZEL FACETS is diamond.

DARK GREEN is the superior facet of the diamond belt.

This is the flag of the diamond.

DARK GREEN is the main pavilion facets of the diamond, too called the lower halves.

GREEN LIGHT lower girdle facets of the diamond.

The white dot in the center represents the head. If the diamond has, where it is.

Polish And Symmetry

Polish

Poland is the finish of every facet of the diamond. Once the cut of a diamond is terminated, then polish the diamond cutter with a diamond grinding wheel of exceptionally fine grain abrasives. This process is done to remove any roughness from outside the diamond facets to entirely clear, and to give the diamond's brilliance.

different certification companies give different degrees higher in Polish, some using the Excellent run, and some use the term ideal. In fact, both are the same thing. Majority of minor problems with the polish that would cause a stone to be disqualified an excellent grade for a very good, they are totally invisible to the naked eye, completely undetectable out with the aid of magnification firm, like a microscope.

Symmetry

The symmetry, as discussed here, is the external symmetry of the diamond. It covers how symmetrical facets has been cut into the diamond, the shape of the facets, the symmetry of the pattern on the outside of the diamond, etc. common causes of a diamond does not receive a grade higher symmetry are issues such as the table is off center, misshapen facets, biased patterns, extra dimensions, etc.

Once again, small differences in symmetry are completely invisible to the naked eye. The differences between a stone that gets excellent symmetry, and very good symmetry, will only be visible under the magnification of a microscope.

Dimensions

The proportions of diamond diamonds are critical to optical beauty. They will determine the light path leads through the stone. It will also determine the amount of light that reflects the Diamond as a whole. There are many measures that affect the proportions. Let's go over them one at a time, from basic to the most complex.

Here are graphic proportion of American Gemological Society (AGS) and Gemological Institute of America (GIA). See Figures 4 and 5.

For the purposes of this discussion we will use the graph of AGS, as it is somewhat easier to read.

Diameter

Diameter is simply the distance from one edge of the diamond on the opposite edge.

Depth

Measurement depth is the distance between the table of diamonds and diamond head. (As seen in Figures 2 and 3) believe that the measurement of depth chart in Figure 5, 62.8%. This percentage is the measurement of the actual depth, measured in millimeters, divided by the average diameter of a diamond.

The depth can have various effects on the diamond. A diamond that is cut surface will appear larger, while a diamond which is deep cut will look smaller. This is known as SPREAD FACTOR. Spread is simply the diameter of the diamond. If two stones have the same weight, but is significantly deeper (higher) than the other, will be carried out more than its weight in the bottom of the diamond, and will look smaller upwards, ie less dispersion.

Table

TABLE facet is the facet principal at the top of the diamond as shown in Figure 2. This measure is the width of the facet MESA. The table has been plotted in Figure 5, with 55.9% of measurement. This percentage is measuring actual table, measured in millimeters, divided by the average diameter of the diamond.

Strip

The waist measurement is a measure of the band to go around the diamond, as shown in Figure 1. This measurement can be represented graphically in various ways, as wide average, larger and smaller width, or a degree word, eg, fine, medium, thick.

The waist measurement involves two issues in general.

1. Durability

If the waist is too thin, this may affect the durability of the stone, making it more susceptible to damage or chipping during the setup process or while being used.

2. Hidden Weight

If the waist is too thick, it can be a sign of what is known as hidden weight, or weight does not contribute to visual size of the diamonds. The disadvantage of this is that, since diamonds are priced according the weight, you are paying for the weight you not see. This is, however, very slight in most cases.

Culet

The culet is the tiny spot at the bottom of the diamond. This shows up as small white dot in Figure 3. Culets in all sizes ... Large to very small, and even can be classified on the tip or None. In Figure 5 we can see that this Culet is classified as indicated. This means that there is no flat surface on the bottom of the diamond, but that reaches a point culet. If you look at Figure 4, which is the graph of the GIA certificate, you will see that the stock level like no other, that is exactly as stated.

The culet really only has a considerable visual impact on the stone. You can create a "window" through the stone effect, if large enough.

Round diamond with a tip Culet

Figure 6

Round diamonds with a large Culet

Figure 7

When we look at the images in Figures 6 and 7, you can see the effect of the stock on the diamond. In Figure 7, you can clearly see a "hole" in the diamond, where as that is not visible on the diamond is illustrated in Figure 6. Certain types of diamonds are very attractive with a large culet, such as cuts of antiques, etc. This is discussed in greater detail in a diamond shape sections of this tutorial.

Crown Heights

Crown height refers to the "height" of the diamond above the waist. Figure 5 lists the height of the crown for this diamond as 15.3%.

Pavilion Depth

PAVILION DEPTH refers to the "depth" of diamond below the waist. Figure 5, the list of flags of DEPTH for this diamond as 43.4%.

Crown Angle

The CROWN ANGLE is the angle where the bezel facets (as shown in Figure 2) are oriented in relation to the table. For this diamond, we can see that the graph in Figure 5 shows an angle of 34.7 degrees CORONA. This measure when considered in conjunction with FLAG ANGLE, you can tell a lot about diamonds light return. These measurements will tell how the diamond reflects most of the incoming light.

Pavilion Angle

The flag ANGLE is the angle at which the flag main facets (as shown in Figure 3) are oriented in relation to the table. For this diamond, we can see that the graph in Figure 5 shows an angle of 41.0 degrees Pavilion. This measure, when considered together with the angle of the CORONA, you can tell a lot about diamonds returning light. These measures tell you how the diamond reflects the most light that enters.

Minor Facets

The measurements The chart also includes certain measures that address facets of the stone MINORS. These are fully discussed in our tutorial Minor Facets.

AGS Ideal Cut Grade / Grade GIA excellent cut

In the world of diamonds at present, there are two major court systems grade for round diamonds. American Gemological Society (AGS) and Gemological Cut Grade Institute (U.S. GIA) Cut Grade. Both laboratories reported their systems cutoff grade after extensive research and evidence. Both grades cut overlap, however, the focus of the principle of classification of court by opposite ends of the spectrum.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: vocabulary in conflict may be one of the most frustrating when trying to learn about diamonds. The two major certification companies in the world, AGS and the GIA, used a similar vocabulary, so that only confuses on each person who is learning about diamonds first. See the table below to help keep the vocabulary directly and to avoid confusion.

The AGS Approach

AGS has a very scientifically bound approach to the question of the degree of court. Cut grades are assigned by a system of number in the range 0 to 10, with 0 being the best, or what is called IDEAL. AGS takes into consideration matters which are the perfection is not visible to the naked eye and requires absolute diamond before providing it with the highest AGS cut grade will ... Ideal Cut.

The key behind the court system AGS degree is a small piece of technology known as ASET (Angular Spectrum Evaluation of Technology) is shown below.

Figure 8 - Courtesy of AGS

This technology is very simple. For a diamond to shine, its facets to reflect light (back light). In essence, functioning facets function as mirrors, therefore, should reflect something that says "front" of them, or whatever the case ... on them.

The three colors of the ASET simply tells us that the angle at which light-reflecting facets. GREEN display all the light reflected from 0 to 45 degrees, will be displayed RED all the light reflected from an angle of 46 -75, and blue to display all the light reflected from a 76 - 90 degree angle. WHITE is the absence of light return, or what known as leakage of light. Where you see white light passes through the diamond without being reflected back to your eye.

Note that the higher the return light angle, the stronger the brightness when viewed at a glance. RED and BLUE is what we see, with as little as possible GREEN. In the photo below several examples of diamonds, all with different proportions that show differences as assets. Note the sharp increase in the green and white as diamonds off in their degree of court.

Figure 9 - AGS Ideal Cut

10 - Figure AGS Cut Grade 4/Good

11 - Figure AGS Cut Grade 7 / Fair

12 - Cut Figure AGS Grade 10/Poor

One of the unique features of the AGS cut grade system is that of the Polish and symmetry. For a diamond to be awarded AGS Ideal, this diamond must have ideal Ideal polish and symmetry. If any of these categories do not receive a grade Ideally, the diamond cut grade will be downgraded from ideal for good - no matter the light show of the diamond.

It is important to understand that the difference between Ideal polish and symmetry, and excellent polish and symmetry is very light and completely invisible to the naked eye.

The focus of the GIA

Rating cut, GIA approaches the issue very different from AGS. The GIA cut grade system is that based on human eye. While taking the science of thinking in mind, the GIA grading choose to view cutting through the eye of the consumer.

GIA was the basis for its court system through a study of 70,000 grade 20 different diamonds, and asking each person to classify the stones for beauty. The characteristics of the diamonds were carefully selected, and the respondents' answers were recorded and tabulated. These real-world results provided the basis for GIA Cut Grading System.

Because GIA decided to base its degree of cutting a human eye OBSEVATION, tolerance of the note cut is, of course, more lenient than that of AGS. It is important to remember that the diamond is being purchased to be beautiful to the eye of the user and those who see it. From the moment takes diamond, which will be under constant HUMAN Eye. Whereas, therefore, that this is the state of control that the diamond will be low for most of his life, the basis of the note Eye cut HUMAN common sense.

Here are some examples of how GIA Excellent stones could appear in REFLECTOR TECHNOLOGY. These images represent the diamond look through the ideal-Scope. The Ideal-Scope is a reflector of one color, which shows light return and leakage of light.

Figure 12 - Courtesy of ideal field

Quite simply, a diamond is placed in a transparent tray light panel, with the ideal on top of it. All of the light reflecting diamond, return light, will be in two colors, red or black. Red is a reflection of the pink / red plastic and black is a reflection of the shadows cast by the viewer's eye through the hole in the top of the scope. The higher angle of light return is black, so this is the strongest, followed by dark red and then the lighter red / pink.

White, under the ideal-Scope is the result of light leakage (electricity that comes from the bottom of the diamond), and is actually the white, lighted diamond sits on top. Because the diamond is not reflecting the backlight in these areas, you are able to look through the stone and see the white background behind it. Not all light leakage is visible to the naked eye however, so it is important to take what you see in the Ideal-Scope into account together with all other information on the diamond. A decision should never be based solely on one type of data.

Both GIA diamond below are excellent cuts.

Figure 13

Figure 14

You will notice that there is more white in the middle of the diamond second, Figure 14, the first, Figure 13. This is because the second Diamond has more light leakage at the center of the stone. The reason that both stones receive an Excellent rating is because the GIA GIA Cut Grade system is based on the observation human eye, focusing on the brightness. Both of these stones will be beautiful and bright, although the diamond first return of the top light.

What each person can see with the naked eye is different, and indeed some people may see a difference between these two stones with the naked eye. Individuals will also be will not be able to see a difference between these stones. GIA study concluded that among observers polled, most could not distinguish a significant difference between two stones. Personal preferences will determine where their preferences lie.

In addition, the GIA cut grade takes into account all factors affecting the beauty of diamonds with the naked eye. For example, under the GIA cut grade system, the finish of diamond, ie, Polish and symmetry are allowed to be very good, while still maintaining a rating of Excellent cut.

COLOR

Color Grades

Color grades are categorized by a letter grade. The color scale begins with D color, which is more white, color Z, which is the darkest.

Most diamonds to buy engagement rings, solitaire pendants and diamond earrings, purchased from the D - K color, while many of the smaller stones in jewelry are lower color ranges.

Figure 15 - Courtesy of GIA

The color is organized as follows:

D E, F

Colorless

G, H, I, J

Near White

K - Z

Dyed

Diamond color is classified with the diamond upside down. The reason for this is that, because the color is carried out within the body of the gem, is important to observe the diamond at an angle where the diamond spark will not interfere with the ability of observers to study the rock and see the color.

The color key is that everyone sees a different color. the sensitivity of the color is something that is totally unique for each person. Here is where you buy in a "journey your local center diamond comes in handy. Before picking a line of diamonds, head to the mall and ask to see various colors of diamonds laid out for you. This will give a great sense of how much color can be seen in a diamond.

Bring a white card with you and ask to see more loose diamonds of varying color. Fold the white card in half and the rest of the diamond, upside down, on the card. Actually, when doing this you must be under the fluorescent light not diffuse, but the lighting jewelry should be sufficient for this exercise. By placing the diamond upside down and looking through the canopy of the diamond, you should be able to see the very slight differences in color in diamonds. Then open up the diamonds, and watch to see how color can be seen on the face into position.

Cut affecting color

Diamond cutting has a significant effect on the visible color of the diamond. The color of a diamond is maintained within the gem, so the color looks better from the bottom of the diamond. The reason why the court can positively affect a diamond's face up color, is that when observing a diamond with a bright light RETURN (where is the diamond that reflects a large percentage of light), light blocks reflects viewer's ability to see the body of the gem. Since the color is maintained in the body of the gem, the viewer sees more light return of the gem itself, the color Diamond is less visible than the diamond is in the supine position. When a diamond is said to white forehead, this is what is referenced.

Fluorescence

Fluorescence is a phenomenon that occurs in approximately 50% of all diamonds mined. Occurs when the element boron is present during the formation of diamond. The result is that the diamond "fluorescent" light or glow under a black. While fluorescence is presented in different colors, blue is the most common and least worrisome. Many consumers feel the need to stay away from any fluorescence, without But this is due to the lack of adequate information.

The fluorescence is classified in the levels of none, weak, medium, strong, and very strong.

Figure 16

In Figure 16, you can see the effect of fluorescence has on a stone under a light black. From this brightness can only be seen under black light, you should be in a place where black lights are used as a nightclub, to always view the diamond's brilliance in a way like this.

Fluorescence may have two major effects on a diamond.

1. You can help the face to the color of a diamond. In a lower color diamond, such as an I or J color, the presence of fluorescence can cause the diamond to become more strong backs, that a diamond of the same color, without fluorescence.

2. The fluorescence may cause the diamond looks oily, milky or nebula under strong, direct light, like sunlight or spotlight. However, this does not happen all the time. This really only becomes a problem with diamonds that have strong or very strong fluorescence, and does not happen to them. A simple way to avoid one of them is to ask the seller to represent the diamond to have the diamond a source of bright light and examine it for you. The seller must give you an honest opinion on any fluorescence visible, because it is something to be seen in sunlight, and Being dishonest about it just about guarantee a dissatisfied customer and a diamond is returned by the seller.

In general, fluorescence is not a reason "And not" to buy a diamond. It is more important to know what effect the fluorescence in the stone. Some of the world's most beautiful diamonds have fluorescence intense.

CLARITY

Clarity Grades

classification of clarity is intimidating, but actually quite simple. The stones are classified into the following grades:

Flawless (FL)

Internally Flawless (IF)

Very, very slightly included 1 (VVS1)

Very, very slightly Included 2 (VVS2)

1 Slightly Included (VS1)

Slightly Included 2 (VS2)

Slightly Included 1 (SI1)

Slightly Included 2 (SI2)

3 Slightly Included (SI3) Grade not given by GIA or AGS

Imperfect 1 (I1)

Imperfect 2 (I2)

Imperfect 3 (I3)

As you can see, clarity grades are really just an acronym for the degree that they represent. This will make it much easier to remember, and much easier to understand when you start talking with a seller of diamonds.

Types of inclusions

There are many types of inclusions found in a diamond. Each type of omission can affect the diamond in a different way. Know the types and understanding their effects on the stone will help you feel more comfortable when the visual clarity of a diamond.

Pinpoint

A point is a small crystal formed within the diamond. Identified are very small and are rarely visible to the naked eye.

Pen

A pen is actually a small crack on the diamond. In most cases, it is totally harmless. The diamond is not broken or damaged, nor will it break just half a day, while in use.

How much of an impact of a feather will have on the diamond is very dependent on the placement pen within the diamond, and the size of the pen. Most of the feathers are not big enough, and not in a position where they affect the structural integrity diamond. The best way to ensure that a pen on a stone you are interested, is safe, is talk to your vendor about diamonds. Also, you may have valued the stone by an appraiser accredited, independent, to be able to give an additional view.

Glass

A crystal is only that - a small crystal that formed within the crystal size, which eventually became the diamond. The crystals can be white or black, but which can be very visible or completely invisible, depending on the size, color and location. The crystals do not pose a structural risk to the diamond and are one of the inclusions more common.

Needle

A needle is a type of crystal. When viewed with a magnifying glass, resembles a small needle. The Most of these are small, weak, white inclusions, and there should be no cause for concern.

Clouds

The clouds are groupings of states and distinguishes, as we know, are tiny crystals. So, in essence, the clouds are clusters of tiny crystals. A cloud is a of the finest inclusions can have because it is very difficult to see.

Many people think that because diamond has a cloud, appears cloudy. In most cases, this is not true. Even large clouds can be virtually invisible, even under a 10x loupe. Since many clouds are so weak they are translucent, allowing light to pass directly through them. They are also almost always invisible to the naked eye and are a wonderful way to slaughter without adversely affecting the clarity diamond.

Natural

One is natural part of the diamonds are not cut or polished. This occurs when during the cutting of the stone, the cutter leaves a small piece of raw uncut and unpolished. The inexperienced eye, it may seem that the diamond is broken, but a careful examination under a microscope to prove the contrary. The most common sites for this are near the waist.

Naturals can also be indented. When this is so, in fact resemble the chips, but again, close examination under a microscope will show that they are not.

Knot

A knot is a crystal that reaches the surface of the diamond after the diamond is cut. The knots are usually as high in area the surface of the diamond facet.

Split

Diamond is a division of a straight crack without fringes. A division has the potential to split the diamond apart along its length if you hit the correct angle.

Cavity

Recessed open diamond.

Chip

When a piece of original diamond was chipped off.

Bearding

Barbara is when the lines of hair that can occur around the waist during the cutting process. bearding not usually a minimum problem, but often brilliant wide strip away or removed by re-cutting of the diamond.

Granulation internal / surface granulation

Granulation is more than a structural defect in diamond. It is the visible structure of the diamond at the molecular level. Granulation usually appears as lines incredibly weak on the field, only visible under a microscope. They do not threaten the diamond, and indeed, practically every diamond has a certain amount graining.

Granulation is one of the finest inclusions can have because it is practically impossible to see with the naked eye. These inclusions are extremely weak. It can be very difficult to find these flaws under a 10x magnifying glass, let alone the naked eye.

Twinning Wisps

twinning wisps are basically an inconsistency in the formation of the molecules that make up the crystal. This leads to slight inconsistencies in the gem, which can be seen with a magnifying glass high.

Similar inconsistencies can be seen in ice cubes you make in your freezer by observation that the ice is sometimes not very clear all along, but there are white lines on the ice or turbidity. This lack of coherence in the formation of ice crystal these causes. The same goes for diamonds.

twinning wisps are invisible most of the time, and are a great inclusion have lower diamond clarity because the fact is so weak that makes them almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

Improve Clarity Diamonds

clarity diamonds are diamonds that have been treated in some way to improve the clarity of the stone visible. The two methods Popular improving the clarity of a diamond are LASER diamond drilling and filling.

In short, diamond drilled with a laser. A Sometimes the laser can be used to burn or illuminate an inclusion. If inclusion is a cavity in the stone, the stone can be drilled and then a glass like substance inclusion is injected into the through hole has been done.

For more information on diamonds greater clarity, you can reference the company that invented the process in your website, www.yehuda.com .

Clarity to the naked eye

It is important when looking at the clarity of the diamond to remember that when it takes you, the only screening tool used it is clear by the human eye. In general, most diamonds are classified by renowned laboratories as VS2 or better, clean eyes. Also There are many eyes clean SI1 and SI2 and these stones make a wonderful purchase price. They may be harder to find, but if you are open to sacrifice a little clarity, you can get more for your money.

For people who are not worried about what may or may not see, but what they know about diamond, higher clarity grades are there for you. If a diamond with little or no defects is what you are interested in, the degrees of IF - VVS2 is where I want to stay. Sometimes it is more important to do, and this is a personal decision, driven by personal preferences.

Remember, no right or wrong decision. Whatever you decide, you want to be happy with the decision you made.

CARAT WEIGHT

What is it?

Carat weight is simply the unit of measurement to determine the weight of a stone beautiful. One carat equals one fifth of a gram. Diamonds are weighed both in hundredths of a carat, or 1.25ct or thousandths of a carat, ie 1.254ct. How weight is detailed depends on the laboratory that is weighing the diamond.

How does visual appearance?

While carat weight is commonly referred to as the "size" of the diamond, this is a misnomer. The actual visual size of the diamond depends more the diameter of the diamond in the carat weight of the stone. It is not unusual to have two stones of the same weight, look very different in size to the naked eye. It is important to bear in account when buying a diamond.

How does the price?

Primary Diamond prices is determined by three factors, weight, color and clarity.

For the weight factor pricing, diamonds are priced on a "by carat "base. Therefore, if the price per carat of a diamond is 1.50ct $ 1,000, the price of diamonds in it would be $ 1500.

carat prices to change as the weight of the stones reach different levels. Usually the price changes in 50 ct diamonds, .70 ct, .90 ct, 1.00ct, 1.50ct, 2.00ct, 3.00ct, 4.00ct, etc.

In each of these stages, the "per carat" price can change anywhere between 10% - 50%. These Weights are sometimes referred to as the "magic" number, such as buying a diamond just below the "magic numbers" can save the customer a lot of money.

Although this works in theory, reality is much more difficult than this. Diamonds that fall just below the "numbers magic "are rare and difficult to find. While it would be good to buy a diamond is 1.99ct to try to avoid 2.00ct price change is virtually impossible to find a diamond, especially one that is well cut.

Knowing where the "magic numbers" are and how they work can be very useful in case you stumble upon the right stone. You can also show when an agreement on some other aspect of diamond could be a good idea to enter a "magic number" of diamonds that will save you money.

TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGY

Diamond Scanners

As technology has become more advanced, computers have made their way in our daily lives - the diamond industry has been an exception. One of the most powerful tools that technology has brought the world of diamonds is that of scanner "contactless." Non-contact scanners are devices that use the cameras and light, combined with powerful software to explore and measure diamonds.

They do this by adopting the "Pictures" or frames, between 3000 to 20,000 frames, the profile of the diamond, while the diamond is spinning on a stage. From these images, the software builds a virtual model of the diamond, with measurements and proportions.

In addition, some of these scanners and software that allow users to manipulate the model of the stone and put it in lighting conditions and different situations. Actually, the program offers a photo-realistic vision of the right of the diamond in the user's computer screen. The technology is so precise that buyers can actually make decisions purchase based solely on the models generated by these scanners, without seeing the real diamond.

The best part is that, through the advent technology, vendors are able to offer these models directly to you, like we do here at Emma Parker & Co. This allows you to gain a very realistic picture of how the diamond you are buying has been cut.

The three most popular are sarin, megascopic, Helio and scanners.

Reflectors

Reflector technology has already been played on the Cut section of this tutorial. The reflectors are just that. These are devices that show the user the reflective capabilities of the diamond. There are several reflective devices out today in the market, all of which are more or less the same thing and have almost the same level of efficiency. The most common are the Ideal-Scope, ASET, and Firescope.

The simple premise of how technologies work reflector are detailed in the cross section of this tutorial.

GIA Diamond Dock

The GIA Diamond Dock is a light source that combines direct light to diffuse light to create an appearance true light of day. It has proved, in our experience, the more accurate re-creation of "man" with natural light available.

The GIA Diamond Dock is the basis for the GIA cut grade. The 70,000 GIA observations he made to formulate the basis for the degree of court, were conducted under the dock lights GIA diamond.

The spring of diamonds is also useful for photography and color gradation. The concentration on the dock of the diamond is to emphasize the brightness of the stone. It gives an excellent view of how the stone do in the real world.

Scope Gemex Blaze

The Bright Gemex Scope is a technology that exposes the diamond to strong light and direct at 5 different specific angles ... then takes displayed a triple image of the stone. The classification software then breaks these images to a base of pixels, and measures the amount of white light (brightness), color light (fire) and scintillation (the movement of light in diamond) being given off by the diamond. The software then grades the results based on a database other diamonds that have already been scanned, and assigned a rating to that of diamond.

Technology is certainly valid, and is used in industry without But the results are not always indicative of how the diamond will perform in real life. Generally this applies to the stones that the poor results, but still have high brightness and splendor. A good score on the Blaze scope usually means a very beautiful diamond.

THE PROCESS PURCHASE

The buying process is a topic rarely talked about the jewelry until the client is halfway through it. Here at Emma Parker & Co., full disclosure to the client is just a piece of our "honesty first", and help you, the customer, comfortable with the whole process is very important to us.

About the Author

I am a person who is passionate about diamonds...I suppose that is why they are my profession. I am also a non-practicing lawyer, which makes for an interesting combination. As the President of Emma Parker & Co. I get to help people through the wonderful and joyous process of selecting gifts for people that they love. I absolutely love what I do, and would never, by choice, do anything else.

Personally, I love to ski, play baseball, and spend time with my family.
