3. nine flowers and one heart

 The cut of nine hearts and one flower, each diamond is composed of three basic parts, crown, waist and bottom. The cut of'Nine Hearts and One Flower' diamond is different from ordinary diamond cut in that each diamond is made of crown. It is composed of 37 petals and 63 petals at the bottom, a total of 100 flawless cut faces, 15-17% more rough than the general 58-sided diamond. , The whole process uses European tools and paneling work, the procedures are rigorous and meticulous, and it takes more than 1 times the time of ordinary diamonds."

4, plum blossom diamond

 The plum blossom diamond cut is developed from the heart and arrow cutting process. It has 24 facets more than the pavilion of the heart and arrows, and the total has 81 facets. The Hearts and Arrows cut has eight black triangles and black image defects on its table and pavilion respectively. Plum blossom diamonds make up for this defect through the improvement of pavilion facets, so that the light becomes when reflected from the diamond. Beautiful flower shape.

 

In addition to the above-mentioned cuts, the common gemstone cuts on the market include round, drop, emerald, heart, etc. These cuts are applied to most diamonds and colored gems, and I believe everyone is also very familiar with them.

About one hundred and two hundred years ago, people’s cutting technology for gemstones was not as advanced as it is now, especially when cutting emeralds often breakage, so people invented the step turner. Every facet of the gemstone was invented. It is horizontal and vertical, and extends to the bottom level by level. The advantage of this kind of turner is that it is easy to polish and not easy to break, and the 4 corners of the gem are cut off to protect the gem from being knocked off by the sharp four corners. An octagonal rectangular cut gemstone. Once this kind of turner is invented, it greatly reduces the chance of emerald being broken during cutting. Therefore, almost all rough emeralds are made into this kind of turner. This type of turner is defined as an emerald turner. So if you understand the origin of emerald turner, you will know why there is a kind of emerald turner called emerald turner.

But in addition to these common cuts, there are actually some fancy cuts, or special-shaped cuts, in gemstones. They are different from these common cutting methods. They use a very novel angle to re-analyze gems and cut them out. Creative and beautiful looks!

 

Millennium cut gems

 

One of the famous fancy cuts, named after 1,000 facets. The millennial cut may be a familiar fancy cut. But I want to remind everyone. Most of the millennium cuts currently on the market are ‘pseudo’ millennium cuts, and they have not really reached 1,000 facets.

 

In addition, this kind of cutting is seldom used on very precious gems, because it requires a lot of raw materials and will produce a lot of loss during processing. Generally speaking, too expensive gems are not used for cutting. Crystal, garnet, topaz, etc. are commonly used in the market for cutting.
