What The Heck Is An "Ideal Cut" Emerald Diamond?

A consumer came on a popular diamond discussion forum just yesterday, asking about an emerald cut diamond he found on one of the online diamond websites.

The emerald cut diamond was defined by this particular vendor as being an "ideal cut" emerald diamond.

Consumer is pretty psyched about the prospect of purchasing an "ideal cut" emerald diamond..and asks advice from some of the experts. Here is a link to this thread.

There are two major problems with this stone being classified as an "Ideal cut" diamond:

1. There is no such classification as of this moment. Indeed, there is no such thing as an "ideal cut" diamond for loose diamonds of this particular shape and facet structure (emerald cut diamonds.). Therefore, to coin an emerald cut diamond with the term "ideal cut" is by definition misleading, unethical, and can only be designed to fool the customer into thinking the diamond is something which it clearly is not!!

2. The actual photograph and information of this particular diamond provided to the customer by the diamond vendor indicates a diamond with a culet that is off center by a whopping 8.4 percent!!


This skewered diamond is quite far from ideally cut, even if such a designation did exist for emerald cut diamonds!!

This is the photograph of the diamond posted by the consumer. Arrows outline the skewered symmetry of this misshapen stone.

This is what a properly cut emerald cut diamond ought to look like!!


Take a good look at the attached photo that clearly illustrates what a Well-Cut and correctly proportioned Emerald Cut diamond should look like.

This diamond is symmetrical.

1. The culet fact is in the center and aligned with the Table facet above (Blue Arrow).

2. The step facets emanating from the center culet facet are of the same size and equidistant from each other and adjacent facets (Red Arrows).

3. The East-West junction facets are symmetrical, of even size, and the same distance away from the culet's center point (Yellow Arrows).

4. The step facets at the diagonal junctions are of the same size and distance from each other (Green Arrows).

I've been browsing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before.

Thank you for because of this spectacular post. i'm invariably near to the show up out for content material materials and was lucky to uncover you on yahoo i am going to utterly be back nonetheless again againg to establish what other spectacular content material materials you post.

Terrific post! This is the kind of knowledge that should be promoted more on the online community. Shame on the search engines for not positioning this post higher!

I was told about your blog from a neighbour. He was right about you. Your post is very interesting.

It is my joy to stop by your post and to appreciate your tips. All of them make sense and are very valuable. Have a good day.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Very nice blog.I like this and will come back very soon.

Very usefull blog. i will follow this blog. keep up the good work.

I'm carried out with th is web site.

Nickelodeon is my no. one, it is basically coming to lifestyle superbly on screen as well.Thanks Armin and co. for years worth of pleasurable studying.

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Great web page, I like how the website looks! The style is fantastic!
