Since the diamond was carved

Believe it or not in ancient times, diamonds were considered too precious to cut. It was believed that a diamond cutting and polishing Raw Rob of his great supernatural powers. The diamond was considered a prestigious gem and only kings and rulers were allowed to possess, but still not allowed tampering with his original form.

Interestingly, India is the only source of diamonds, way back in the fourth century BC C. and it was only after the conquests of Alexander the Great, who introduced the diamond to the west after a limited trade began between the East and West. Diamonds were not considered as precious and expensive as rubies or sapphires, even at this time.

Gem cutters started applying their skills on the diamond only in 1300. By this time the trade was opened between India and other shopping centers like Venice and Europe had its first cut and polished diamond around 1380AD. With trade various methods of polishing and cutting diamonds were also shared among countries. However, travel between East and West still is not easy and the journey was arduous and time consuming. Only when Basque da Gama traveled from the Cape of Good Hope to India by sea routes to more open trade, transport and pains reduced. A few months after the discovery of this route cities like Bruges, Antwerp, Amsterdam and Venice, began to see large quantities of diamonds from India in their markets. Roughs from India were transported to these cities that fed Europe's endless hunger for the gem.

The diamond cutting of these times is much less sophisticated, compared with the brilliance we see today. This is obvious when you look at antique jewelry and old configuration. Many of these simple cuts were later adapted to modern cuts in time and records the methods used can only be obtained from paintings, diaries and catalogs.

The journey of the diamond cutting industry as we know it today, begins with the point cut and ends in bright fancy cuts. The cutoff was the first cut that we are aware that today in the court day and was more popular in the fifteenth century. The court octahedral form mimicked the natural diamond rough and this is achieved by using polished surfaces stationary covered with diamond dust and olive oil. To minimize the heat generated by the friction required in the process, we used olive oil.

In the 1400 to the end of the table cutting style made its appearance. The upper part of the natural octahedral shape was cut using the same tools this before "an area stable cutting with diamond grain and olive oil. The end result was that of a polished square facet that looked like a table. Some cutters removed the lower part of the octahedral form to give a square shape called the butt. When viewed from the upper corner of the table cut looked like a square within a square. From the cutting table improved reflection rate and led to greater brilliance and fire, this proportionate reduction found great appeal among consumers during the Renaissance period. The court ruled the diamond industry for the next couple of centuries and had many variations, such as rectangles, tapered shapes and lozenges.

After a couple of centuries of the table cut rule, the court appeared pink and continued to dominate the scene until the nineteenth century. This reduction was not designed to octahedral diamonds but a cut that helped produce the cutting of larger diamonds flattened roughs. The rose cut has flat bottoms and triangular facets that become a point upward. Although the court gives a high level of brightness, the fire that this reduction can not be too high. Creative cutters have created variations of this cut too and we have twice pink and the briolette.

The seventeenth century view different types of cuts that reach the market. The seeds of the modern brilliant cut were sown when miners found some crystals in the sand of the river in Minas Gerais in Brazil. Initially, the miners do not realize that the crystals they were using to keep score in card games were actually diamonds. It was only after someone familiar with diamonds pointed him out to those who realized the value of their find.

With the Drying resources in India, this deposit was very welcome and Brazil became the main source of rough diamonds to diamond cutters in Europe. Diamonds Brazil is used to create the first brilliant cuts and thus was born the old mine cut, a cushion shaped cut with a deep pavilion, high crown and large size butt. Although the number of facets in the cutting of the old mine are similar to the modern brilliant cut, the first cut did not give as much brilliance since the flag was deeper.

The modern brilliant cut came on the scene after more than 500 years of experimentation. This cut was the first cut that brought out the true brilliance of the diamond that is capable of. A round brilliance has a round girdle outline, symmetric triangular facets and kite. The table is over 50% the diameter of the waist and a butt that is barely perceptible.

The oldest of the modern brilliant cut dates back to 1800. Establishing court rejected style court discovered by Henry Morse of Boston before, and stuck to cuts from the mines and pieces of Europe. It was only in 1919 when Marcel Tolkowsky published these cuts not become popular. Though many cutters who worked on the great high-quality sketches approved Tolkowsky suggestions, there were others who use variations of this for smaller diamonds with the intention of gaining the maximum weight of the diamonds in the rough. Other changes also made an appearance and thus were born Marquesa ways, cushion, pear and oval.

The contemporary cuts allow higher levels of artistic flair and the roughs can be cut and polished on the basis of minimum loss due to cutting and polishing. With the popularization of the brilliant cut, many fancy brilliant cuts started coming into the picture. It was the success Round brilliant encouraged to try other forms cutters along with the brilliant cut. The triangular brilliant, 'billion', developed by Leon Fink in the 1960s became so popular that people began referring to any triangular brilliant as the 'billion'. Milton and Irving Meyer were marketing their own version at this time and called it the 'Trilliant and registered the name. The phrase "billions of dollars" had become so generic in nature which was renamed later Trielle in 1992.

Another brilliant cut shapes like rectangle and square brilliant also were produced. The first rectangular brilliant cut was patented by Henry Grossbard and the same was called as 'Radiant'. Use of this court led to a loss of 40% of GDP compared with 50% loss in the case of a round brilliant. Other brilliant cuts like the square was also brilliant in the scene. Ambar Diamonds, Inc. developed and patented a square cut Quadrillion brilliant call.

Fancy brilliant cuts allow for minimum loss of a rough diamond. They're also useful for handling and refinement of the color of the diamond when viewed from the front. These days the diamond cutting industry makes the use of modern software technology to develop further cuts that can optimize the size of the diamond. The round brilliant has been further improved with the use of technology that can standardize the production process diamond cut to create the symmetrical, proportionate and property.

Some retailers and manufacturers tried to promote what they call the "ideal cut" in the 1990s. This was marketed as the cut that was ideal for a specific diamond to provide minimum loss, maximum brilliance and fire. Although The concept was welcomed by researchers in the diamond cutting industry, there was no evidence that the 'ideal cut' was really ideal. The technology allows the customer to see the various cuts and how each compares to the other. But critics say that the diamonds it is only a single diamond cutting and not be an ideal cut that fits all.

Even though history has witnessed several cuts that have come and gone and the technological and creative expertise in this field, no doubt about the fact that what really matters in the end is the perception of beauty of the diamond by the purchaser, user, and the spectators!
