Understanding Lab Grown Diamond Brilliance and Precision

Brilliance and Sparkle of Lab Grown Diamond

Whether mined or lab produced diamonds, their brilliance and quality boil down to the quality of their cut. How precisely a diamond is cut, how much balance there is in its facets, and how light passes through it, are all nuances that impact its brilliance and performance.

 

In this blog, we dissect all the factors that affect a lab grown diamond’s brilliance. 

 

What is ‘diamond cut’?

Cut is one of the 4 Cs of diamonds. Rough cultured diamonds have to be cut to get a desired shape and brilliance. Cut refers to the shaping of a diamond for polishing. It also refers to the symmetry, proportioning and polish of a diamond. Cut affects a diamond’s performance. There are different types of diamond cuts, for instance, brilliant cut diamond, round cut, oval cut, emerald cut, etc. When diamonds are cut to precision, light is able to enter it precisely and is reflected in a way that makes the diamond sparkle and illuminate brilliance.

 

Why is diamond cut important?

A lab produced diamond’s cut is important because the angles of the pavilion, the measurements of its different parts, and facets all contribute to its appearance and performance. The cut can help determine the diamond’s brightness, scintillation, and fire. The cut of the diamond also influences its price and value. The best lab grown diamonds have a perfect, ideal cut, which appreciates its value and pricing.

 

Diamond cut proportions and effects on diamond performance

The proportions of diamond cut affect how light travels and reflects in a diamond. Let’s look at the ideal proportions and their effect on cultured diamonds.

Cut grades and their meaning in reference to diamond quality

Summing up

When assessing the best lab grown diamonds, you must take into account the above factors relating to diamond cut and its impact on its appearance. The next time you want to buy lab grown diamonds, make an informed decision by identifying these features before you make a purchase.

FAQs

Question: How is lab grown diamond proportion calculated?

Answer: Cultured diamond proportion is calculated using the dimensions of the table size, crown height, pavilion depth and other parameters. The elements are measured in millimeters (mm) or percentages.

 

Question: What is the brightness in lab produced diamonds?

Answer: Brightness refers to the internal and external white light that is reflected from the cultured diamond.

 

Question: What is fire in diamonds?

Answer: Fire refers to the rainbow colors that get reflected from the diamond. When white light scatters on the diamond, it displays rainbow colors, which is called fire.

 

Question: What is scintillation in lab produced diamonds?

Answer: Scintillation is the sparkle that is produced from cultured diamonds due to the play of light and dark areas and the reflection of light due to this.
