The ancient masters simply processed diamond, on its natural edges, therefore the refined shine of light in a stone remained inaccessible to the naked eye. Only by the middle of the last century, Marcel Tolkovsky, the founder of modern cut, using mathematical formulas, created the ideal form of stone, which creates the most optimal conditions for the play of light and brilliance in stone.

Speaking about the color of a diamond, experts mean its complete absence - the ideal stone should be colorless and become invisible when placed in water. This is where the expression "pure diamond" comes from. The purity of a diamond is determined by the absence of cracks, chips and other internal defects, the accepted classification classifies the highest quality diamonds to the first class, and stones with small defects to the 3-4 class. Cut gems refers to the decorative elements and the classic rounded shape here is beyond competition.

In fantasy forms, the proportion of the source material that persists after the treatment of the stone is much larger, so they are much cheaper. Most jewelers believe that the best cut is made using a special formula that allows to give the diamond maximum brilliance and purity of the diamond. The formula is calculated on the basis of the proportions of the source material, taking into account not only the depth ratio, but also the diameter of the work area with the diameter of the diamond. The ideal cut allows you to give the diamond the maximum saturation and brightness, due to the minimum area the diamond gets the maximum ability to scatter light.
