As the name suggests, an Ideal cut diamond is a diamond that has ideal symmetry, proportions and polish. The goal of this cut is to create the most beautiful diamond possible that exudes exquisite brilliance. This means it was cut was done to create the most precise and accurate cut possible, and to produce the most brilliant results. The diamond will get the zero cut grade if rated by the American Gem Society and the excellent cut grade if scored by the Gemological Institute of America.
History of the IdealCut
The diamond cut has evolved from the simple point cut to the table cut, old single cut, Mazarin Cut, Perruzzi Cut, and the Old European Cut. In the 1900, the development of saws and good jewelry lathes allowed for the emergence of modern diamond cutting, particularly the round brilliant cut. 19 years later, Marcel Tolkowsky studies this cut and came up with a calculation which took fir and brilliance into consideration and formed a balance between the two. This calculation would become the benchmark for all future brilliant cut modifications and standards.
Cost and Availability of the Ideal Cut
Because of the painstaking measures it takes to create an Ideal cut diamond, the cost is often higher than diamonds with other cuts. Also, according to experts, only 1% diamonds are cut based on the Tolkowsky calculation which means that Ideal cut diamonds are relatively rare. Rarity, coupled with the exacting measures it takes to create the Ideal cut means diamonds of this cut are priced exorbitantly high compared to other diamond cuts.
