Purchasing certified diamonds is a stressful experience. Here at Nick T. Arnold Jewelers, our serviceable staff will help ease you through the process. We understand that the biggest hurtle in purchasing diamond jewelry comes from understanding the cut of a stone.

The cut of a diamond is the only aspect of a diamond report affected by an artisan hand. The cut makes the transition from raw mineral to polished beauty. The cutter must be sure to precisely position each facet, polishing each to perfection. Perfection can be measured in regards to the cut of a diamond. The formulas for these cuts scientifically lay out the path of each cut. Each of these prescribed cuts allows for dispersed light that will make the stone reflect fire. The better the refraction, the more expensive the diamond is. Each cut must follow this exact map or the diamond will lose its luster. Diamonds that are cut too shallow lose light through the bottom, whereas diamonds cut too deep will lose light through the sides. Neither will achieve the desired brilliance.

The only human controlled aspect of a diamond is the cut. The finished diamond takes multiple steps to make a perfectly cut diamond. The stone must first be marked and then sawed or cleaved, which is splitting the stone with the grain. On the other hand, sawing is splitting the crystal against the grain. Many times cutting is a slow process; only going one millimeter at a time. Next, the cutter uses rounding or bruting. After this step, the diamond will be polished one last time.

Cutters today have the amazing ability to turn a rough stone into something of beauty. The long path from apprentice to master is worth it standing in front of a diamond jewelry showcase.
