The Crown Jewel Ideal Cut Diamonds

When a diamond is transformed from the rough crystal into an exquisite stone of extraordinary level of beauty and perfection; will it then be worthy of bearing the Crown Jewel name.   Fewer than one in every million diamonds are cut to this level of perfection.  One look and you can see that a Crown Jewel diamond has been cut to maximize the scintillation and beauty that lies within.  When comparing a Crown Jewel diamond to an ordinary 58 faceted diamond of equal weight and quality, the Crown Jewel diamond will appear larger and more brilliant than the ordinary diamond. Most diamonds are not cut for beauty.  In fact, 95% of diamonds are cut for weight retention only.  Most of these diamonds are cut deeply which actually makes them look smaller for the same given weight.  Less than one percent of all 58 faceted round diamonds manufactured today can be considered a true Ideal Cut or Hearts and Arrows.

The scale for grading cut quality of a 58 faceted round brilliant diamond has been standardized by the AGS (American Gem Society) http://www.ags.org. The cut of a round diamond is graded on a scale of 0 through 10.  "0" representing an Ideal Cut and "10" representing a poor cut.  The diamond's overall cut grade is based on the lowest score it receives. 

The three categories that are taken into consideration when grading are:                 

• Proportions (the dimensions of the diamond),
• Symmetry (how the facets are aligned within the proportions of the diamond)
• Polish (the finishing touches to the surface of the diamond).

All Crown Jewel diamonds are certified by the AGS achieving the coveted grade of Ideal or AGS Triple Zero.  The Crown Jewel diamonds are cut with precisely aligned and carefully shaped facets combined with optimum proportions that produce an incredibly brilliant sight, called Hearts and Arrows. If the facet structure of the diamond is not aligned properly a significant amount of light can be lost through the bottom of the diamond and will not be reflected back to your eyes.  This translates into huge differences in the beauty and value of diamonds.

All Crown Jewel Diamonds are accompanied by the GemEx Light Performance Analysis and an AGS (American Gem Society) Certificate verifying the visual brilliance and quality characteristics of your diamond.  These certificates ensure you that you are buying the highest quality 58 faceted round brilliant diamond.
