Definitions
- the present invention concerns a cut diamond.
- Carat is the unit of weight of diamonds with one carat being equal to 200 mg. Traditionally the value of a diamond has been determined by its size or weight expressed in carats. The larger the stone, the higher its value.
- Clarity refers to the imperfections and inherent impurities that are already present in the raw stone.
- Color is also determined by the raw stone.
- the colorless and transparent stones are scarcer and thus more valuable.
- Cut refers to the cutting and polishing of the stone in a particular form having numerous facets. The way a stone is cut determines the path that light entering the stone will follow. Almost all of the light that enters the stone will also leave it again. The reflections, refraction and dispersion along the light path will determine the brilliance and the fire of the stone.
- Color and clarity are intrinsic properties of the stone, for which grading scales have been established. Their values cannot be changed to augment the value of the stone.
- the round brilliant cut is often preferred as often two stones can be cut from one crystal.
- the brilliant cut is characterized by much brilliance and fire.
- Tolkowsky's ideal model did not take all the aspects into consideration: it was a two-dimensional model, did not consider the effects of the girdle. Since then the model has been slightly fine-tuned. But nevertheless investigation of diamonds that were considered to be cut and polished very well and that were obtained by mere skill were found to have almost the same dimensions and angles as predicted by Tolkowsky ' s ideal model. An example can be found in EP1181875 . An alternative construction to the traditional ideal-cut brilliant can be found in US20060086143 disclosing eight extra facets on the crown and sixteen extra facets on the pavilion.
- the value of a stone of given size can be influenced by differing the way that it is cut.
- the purpose is to obtain a maximum of brilliance and fire in the stone while preserving the maximum of weight possible.
- the present invention discloses a cut diamond, characterized in that it is a convex polyhedron and has eighty-nine facets, which are thirty-two facets more than a traditional ideal-cut brilliant, in particular eight extra facets on the crown by substituting each of the eight kite facets of a traditional ideal-cut brilliant diamond by two triangular facets, namely a table break facet and a girdle break facet, which have a common edge namely the girdle break which lies in a plane parallel to the table, and whereby twenty-four of the thirty-two extra facets are added in the pavilion by substituting each of the eight lower main facets of a traditional ideal-cut brilliant with four facets, namely a bottom star pavilion, two bottom star halves, and bottom girdle pavilion, touching each other in a point, namely the meeting point, and whereby the pavilion height is approximately three percent longer than the pavilion height in the corresponding traditional ideal-cut brilliant.
- a cut diamond according to the invention does further enhance the brilliancy and fire of such a diamond and at the same time allows to preserve more of the weight of the raw stone compared to the brilliant cut design.
- An esthetical and quality feature of the invention is the augmented brilliance and fire exposed by such a cut diamond according to the invention.
- Another esthetical feature is the eight-pointed star shape that can be observed in the diamond.
- An ideal-cut brilliant 1 consists of fifty-seven facets when no culet is present.
- the shape of such a diamond can be deducted from the figures 1 to 4 .
- An ideal-cut brilliant 1 consists of an upper part, called the crown 2, and a lower part, called the pavilion 3. These two parts are separated by a relative thin disk, called the girdle 4.
- the girdle 4 it is not necessary that the girdle 4 is present.
- the horizontal plane common to the crown 2 and the pavilion 3 can still be called the girdle plane.
- the girdle 4 itself may be facetted or not. This is not relevant to the present invention.
- the crown 2 comprises thirty-three facets.
- the top facet of the crown 2 lies in a horizontal plane and is called the table 5.
- crown kite facets 6 There are eight crown kite facets 6, eight crown star facets 7 and sixteen top halve facets 8.
- the pavilion 3 comprises 16 bottom halve facets 9 and eight lower main facets 10.
- the pavilion 3 may also contain a culet facet, which is a facet located near the apex of the pavilion 3 and which is parallel to the table 5.
- the axis through the center of the table 5 and through the apex of the pavilion 3, or the center of the culet, if present, is, as known, an eight-fold symmetry axis.
- the shape of the ideal-cut brilliant 1 can be described by eight independent parameters. Other proportions can be easily calculated from the independent parameters.
- Table 1 summarizes in a known manner, the most important parameters with indication of their ranges and a reference to the figures. Table 1 Min Max Ref.
- a diamond cut according to the invention 11 without a culet facet is also a convex polyhedron but it has eighty-nine facets. This is thus thirty-two more than a traditional ideal-cut brilliant 1.
- each of the eight kite facets 6 of a traditional ideal-cut brilliant diamond by substituting each of the eight kite facets 6 of a traditional ideal-cut brilliant diamond by two triangular facets, namely a table break facet 12 and a girdle break facet 13, which have a common edge namely the girdle break that lies in a plane parallel to the table 5.
- each of the eight lower main facets 10 of a traditional ideal-cut brilliant 1 with four facets, namely a bottom girdle pavilion 14, two bottom star halves 15 and a bottom star pavilion 16.
- these four facets touch each other in one point that lies out of the plane of the lower main facet 10 of the corresponding ideal-cut brilliant 1.
- These points should be chosen so that the cut diamond according to the invention 11 is essentially a convex polyhedron.
- the axis going through the center of the table 5 and through the apex of the pavilion 3, or through the center of the culet, if present, is preferably an eight-fold symmetry axis.
- Table 2 summarizes the most important parameters of a preferred embodiment of a cut diamond according to the invention 11 with indication of their ranges and a reference to the figures.
- Table 2 Min Max Ref Diameter in girdle plane 100,00% 100,00% R Total Depth 62,00% 66,00% d Table 57,00% 62,00% f Crown Height 11,50% 16,50% a Girdle 1,50% 5,10% b Pavilion Depth 45,00% 47,50% c Crown Break 35,00% 40,00% k Girdle Break 60,00% 65,00% I Girdle Halve 45,00% 47,00% n Meeting point 62,00% 64,00% m Top Table Break Angle 28.0° 33.5° F Top Girdle Break Angle 35.5° 38.5° G Top Halves Angle 41.5° 42.5° C Crown Star Angle 22.0° 25.0° D Bottom Girdle Halves Angle 46.5° 48.5° E Bottom Girdle Pavilion Angle 44.0° 45.5° H Bottom Star Halves Angle 38.0° 40.0
- a diamond cut according to the invention 11 may have a facetted girdle 4 or not. Both cases are seen as alternatives that fall under the protection of the present invention.
- a facetted girdle 4 the number of girdle facets determined according to the state of art in the field.
- a diamond cut according to the invention 11 can have a culet facet added to the bottom of the pavilion 3.
