The round cut diamond, often referred to as the round brilliant cut, is the epitome of elegance and brilliance in the world of diamonds. Its timeless appeal and unmatched sparkle make it a favorite among diamond enthusiasts. To achieve its maximum brilliance and fire, understanding the ideal cut, proportions, and various ratios is crucial.
Ideal Cut For Round Diamonds
The cut of a diamond significantly impacts its brilliance. The round brilliant cut consists of 58 facets, including the culet (the tiny point at the bottom of the diamond). The ideal cut maximizes light reflection and refraction, ensuring the diamond sparkles brilliantly.
Proportions and Ratios For Ideal Cut
Table Percentage: The table is the flat, top surface of the diamond. The ideal table percentage of round diamond ranges from 54% to 57%.Depth Percentage: Depth is the height of the diamond from the table to the culet. The ideal depth percentage for a round cut diamond is between 61% - 62.5%. This range ensures the diamond is neither too shallow nor too deep, optimizing light performance.
Crown Angle and Pavilion Angle: The crown is the top part of the diamond above the girdle, and the pavilion is the bottom part below the girdle. The ideal crown angle is 34 - 35 degrees, and the ideal pavilion angle is 40.6 - 41 degrees. These angles are crucial for achieving the diamond’s optimal brilliance.
Girdle Thickness: The girdle is the thin edge between the crown and pavilion. An ideal girdle thickness is ‘Thin’ to ‘Medium’. A girdle that is too thick or too thin can affect the diamond’s durability and overall appearance.
Culet Size: The culet is the small facet at the bottom of the diamond. An ideal culet is ‘None’ or ‘Very Small’, ensuring no light escapes through the bottom, which would otherwise reduce the diamond's brilliance.
Symmetry and Polish: Symmetry refers to the alignment and positioning of the diamond’s facets, while polish refers to the smoothness of the diamond’s surface. Ideal symmetry and polish grades are ‘Excellent’ or ‘Very Good’, ensuring the diamond looks flawless and sparkles brightly.
