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.

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.

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 based on 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.
