What determines the most brilliant & beautiful diamond
KNOWLEDGE: beyond the 4Cs
The beauty of a diamond is determined by the way it sets light free. This beauty is largely measured by the degree of brilliance, fire and sparkles that a diamond radiates. The mission of every Solasfera diamond is to attain the greatest beauty of which a natural diamond is capable.
Solasfera {pronounced as sola – sfera} literally means sun sphere – immortal brilliance that radiates warmth and beauty. A natural diamond with a state of the art cut design that harnesses the magnificence of light’s beautifying qualities. Designed with revolutionary light flow architecture, 91 optically engineered facets and perfect proportions that maximize the light performance and beauty of a round diamond.
The proof of the Solasfera’s unrivaled beauty is as overwhelming as the number of people that would attest to its beauty. But above all, from any angle, under sunlight, office light or candlelight, Solasfera’s greater brilliance and beauty is plain to see. |

Brilliance Does Not Happen By Chance
For a truly brilliant diamond, it is vital to go beyond the 4Cs and understand the components that affect the beauty of a diamond.
|
Perfect Proportions & Light Leakage |
Light Performance |
|
Optical Symmetry |
Light Flow Architecture |
|
Cutting Workmanship |
Physical Geometry |
These are the key components that determine the brilliance and the beauty of a diamond. Their quality is directly related to the diamond’s cut design and the way that it is cut. In order to attain the greatest beauty, a diamond must excel not in one, but in all the above categories.
Please note that a D-colorless, flawless, round diamond that is cut with massive light leakage, has poor light performance, and appears like smashed glass is a very unattractive diamond regardless how much it costs.
Remember, when it comes to diamonds – “exceptional brilliance perpetuates compliments”. |

Perfect Proportions: No Light Leakage
A diamond that is cut with perfect proportions will not leak light through the bottom facets. Only a few diamonds (fractions of 1 percent) in the world can pass this test. Avoid diamonds with light leakage if you are in search of the most brilliant diamond. Even with so-called “ideal cut”, AGS Triple Zero, and branded Hearts and Arrows round diamonds you will find light leakage. Every Solasfera diamond will pass this stringent test with a perfect score and no light leakage. Under the Firescope,™ LightPath scope or Ideal-Scope you will see:

Highest Light Performance
Most Solasfera diamonds receive triple “off the chart” ratings when measured under GemEx’s BrillianceScope™ for:
|
Brilliance (i.e. amount of white light returned) |
|
Fire (i.e. amount of color light returned) |
|
Scintillation (i.e. number of sparkles) |
Be sure to ask for a GemEx Light Performance Analysis report with any diamond. This analysis is based on accurate direct measurement of light that is being returned by a diamond that is subjected to a constant light source at different distances.

Advanced Optical Symmetry
One look at the beautiful reflective symmetry pattern of Solasfera reveals the secrets of its perfect light flow architecture. Solasfera’s use of its main facets is far more advanced and efficient than any other round brilliant cut. To align Solasfera’s 91 facets three dimensionally, in a way that will result in the Solasfera’s magnificent optical symmetry pattern, requires faceting skills that elevate diamond cutting to an art form. Only the finest diamond cutters will succeed. This is another reason why the Solasfera is simple the very best and exceptionally valuable.

Exceptional Light Flow Architecture
Solasfera was created with extensive knowledge and understanding of:
|
Artistic rendering of returned light pattern |
|
Distribution of colors |
|
Harmonization of sparkles |
|
Control of contrast among brilliant facets |
|
Optical performance under different lighting conditions |
These are critical factors in determining the appearance and beauty of a diamond. In designing the Solasfera diamond, every facet matters. Too many facets can cause distortion, poor contrast brilliance, and the appearance of crushed ice. Too few facets will lead to poor light performance and dead spots. Because of Solasfera’s exceptional light flow architecture, it appears vibrant even when viewed upside down.

The Secret To Perfect Diamond Brilliance & Beauty
{The Integration of Perfect Components}
To achieve the most brilliant and beautiful diamond, it is necessary to perfect its proportions, light performance, optical symmetry, light flow architecture, physical geometry, and cutting workmanship. Most diamonds cannot achieve perfection in even on of these areas.
