ألماس بخصائص 3/6 (اللون - 3، والصفاء - 6)

In a store window on dark velvet under a bright electric light, all diamonds sparkle in the same way. And we are not talking about size and the number of facets. Although size matters for diamonds, you should not only look at the size, but also the color and clarity of the stone. So, you have decided to buy a gemstone or an item with it. On the tag or in the certificate it says: "3/6". What each of these numbers means, let's talk about in this article. Deciphering Let's start from the beginning. Diamond characteristics 3/6 means that the stone has color 3 (this parameter is indicated first) and clarity 6 according to the Russian diamond certification system TU 117-4.2009-2002. But, as already mentioned, size matters, and the TU takes this into account. For stones with 57 facets weighing up to 0.29 carats, there are 7 color and 9 clarity parameters. If the mass of the gem is from 0.3 carats and higher, there are 17 color grades and 13 purity grades. Fig 1. Color of a diamond …

Diamonds with characteristics 3/3 (color – 3, clarity – 3)

At first glance, most colorless diamonds look like twin brothers. And this is not so much due to the unprofessionalism of the beholder as to the imperfection of human vision.

But when innovations in jewelry do happen, they make a sensation, make the whole world stand still in mute admiration and then rush to the stores. The "dancing diamond" produced just such an effect a few years ago. No, this is not some new kind of cut diamond. A special cut and a special mount in the cast make the stone "dance". Mounting in the setting There are four main types of stone mounting in a setting: krapanova - the mineral is held on the setting with the help of "paws"; corning - the stone is fixed directly in the metal with the help of corners; blind (rim) - the gem is fixed in the frame and crimped by it around the entire perimeter; special group.

Why cut quality is an important characteristic of a diamond

They say that an important criterion for gemologists when evaluating a diamond is the cut of the stone. And they are right. Imagine that you are looking at two stones with the same characteristics - both VVS (Very Very Slightly Included), i.e. clean, almost without defects, very small inclusions can be seen only in a microscope. And the shape of the cut is the same. But one of them shines with stellar brilliance, mesmerizes and beckons, and the second one next to it looks like an unattractive poor relative, in which there is neither strength, nor play, nor brilliance, nor, to put it bluntly, special beauty. And it seems to be smaller in size than its luxurious counterpart. What is the difference between the "twins"? It lies in the quality of cut, the notorious "ABVG" according to the Russian TU 117-4.2099-2002 and the 4th C (CUT) according to the international GIA system.
