Clarity Enhanced

Diamonds are well renowned for their physical beauty. Their combination of clarity and durability makes them one of the most unique natural elements around. On the jewellery market, diamonds can go for millions, if they are determined to be perfect under the classification of the four C's; Cut, Clarity, Colour and Carat weight.  The cut is central to what makes a flawless diamond. A good cut will enhance the diamond's other features, such as clarity, colour and carat weight.

An excellent jeweler will always work with the diamond, in order for to bring out a jewel's clarity and fiery beauty. The cut is integral to the diamond's aesthetics, as a bad cut will make the diamond look coarse and imperfect. A superior jeweller will be able to sculpt the diamond into a shape and size that is fitting to the diamond's unique purity.

Shape is also an important aspect to the cut. Most people have a favourite diamond shape, so if you're buying a diamond for a loved one, it might be best to find out what she prefers first. Some of the favourite shapes are: asscher (rounded square), cushion, emerald (rectangle), heart, marquise (pointed oval), oval, pear (tear drop), princess, (square cut), radiant (slightly rounded square) and round. All of these shapes bring out different aspects of the diamond, according to the diamond's unique nature, and will create a different effect upon the wearer's hand according to the dimensions of the hand.

One of the oldest and most popular cuts is the round diamond. It's a favourite on the market due to its ability to enhance all of the diamond's other properties, such as clarity. Cutting the diamond into this shape is for most jewelers a precise science, as well as an art, as it requires knowledge of the way light behaves and an ability to use mathematical calculations, in order to determine the exact cut.

Most cuts enhance clarity, for instance, the cushion cut have larger facets than any other cut. Large facets, added with the rounded corners of this cut, augment the diamond's clarity and beauty. Cuts that enhance the clarity are the most desirable cuts, as only a good quality diamond is needed over a more costly superior diamond.

Whilst if you're looking for a cut that not only enhances the diamond's carat but the wearer's hand, a marquise cut is the perfect one for you. The marquise cut amplifies the carat size, making it look much heavier than it really is. It also elongates the fingers, creating the effect of long and willowy fingers.

A high quality cut is at the very heart of what makes a perfect diamond. It augments the natural beauty of the stone and the wearer too. It is recommended by jewellery specialists that you purchase diamonds from either well known brands or diamond specialists, as these companies will often provide a higher quality diamond and cut for a better price.

When I look at stones with the same cut, color, clarity, carat size, cushion cuts and asscher cuts are less expensive than the round cut diamonds. What is the reason for the price difference? Thanks.
