Gold versus Platinum
The Heart shape and Trilliant
cut
As
a symbol of love the heart is a very special choice. It is
unique and the ultimate show of love.
The heart shape, however, is probably the most difficult of
all the cuts from which to select from as they come in a
very wide variety of different sets of proportions and
visual sizes at equal weight. It is most important, if you
want a beautifully looking example that it is specially
selected for you. This is NOT a type of cut which you can
purchase by evaluation on a certificate as there are too
many other parameters involved which are not shown on the
report.
The trilliant cut is a close cousin of the heart shape and
the same factors apply to it. The trilliant cut is used
mostly as side stones on an engagement ring or as earrings
as well. They are popular as pendants as well.
The Emerald cut
The
emerald cut has less facets when compared to the princess so
will sparkle less as a result. It should have a large table
which will give the diamond an 'internal' type of
brilliance. The emerald cut diamond is a cheaper diamond to
produce due to it losing less diamond material during the
cutting process so you will be getting a 'bigger' looking
diamond for the same money which can't be bad. Emerald cuts
come in a variety of rectangular shapes so selection is most
important as they can vary considerably and, once again,
will depend on personal preference. The important thing,
however, in a well cut example is that the girdle is not too
thick and the table size not too small otherwise the diamond
will not show its correct size and the weight versus visual
size ratio will not be good. As this type of cut is more
'transparent' than others it would be best that anything
below the VS2 be avoided.
