The
Macroanalysis involves tracking all possible
angles and proportions and determining the regions promising for cutting,
from the point of view of either light return or fire. At this stage, we
not only confirm the conventional sets of cut parameters but also find out
some new, unusual configurations. |
|
| |
The
Microanalysis involves the detailed studies of
the narrow range of cut parameters: the crown angle - from 30 to 40°, the
pavilion angle - from 38 to 43°, and the table size - from 52 to 60%. The
cut parameters thus determined optimize the light return and fire of a diamond.
By cutting the diamond using these parameters as a guideline, it is possible
to improve the appearance of the diamond without breaking conventional proportions.
