The size of the diamond

The right size of the diamond is not defined only on the basis of measurements and it is also and above all a matter of taste. However standards have been established which allow evaluating the proportions of a diamond.

The proportions are expressed as percentages and degrees. On the basis of the percentage of 100%, which corresponds to the diameter of the diamond is determined:

Proportion Diamond Cut

    The height of the crown;

    The diameter of the table;

    The depth of the cylinder head;

    The thickness of the girdle;

Proportion of ideal size

Good proportions are out of the stone brilliance and sparkle that highlight the diamond. This is not the size of the diamond, but the way it is cut.

It is the art of the size which gives the diamond its brilliance, its brilliance, its unique way of playing with light.

Facets must be perfectly proportioned; a round diamond (brilliant cut) has in 58.
