When it comes to diamonds, the cut is arguably the most important factor affecting their beauty. A diamond’s cut determines its brilliance, fire, and overall appearance. While most diamonds are cut to an Ideal standard, Super Ideal Cut diamonds take this a step further, offering the ultimate in light performance, optical symmetry, and overall visual appeal.
At Diamond Monster, our Super Ideal Cut diamonds are meticulously crafted to the highest standards, ensuring that every facet and angle is perfected for maximum brilliance. But what exactly makes a Super Ideal Cut diamond so exceptional? Let’s explore the process and qualities that elevate these diamonds to a class of their own.
What is a Super Ideal Cut Diamond?
A Super Ideal Cut diamond surpasses the typical Ideal Cut range, which already represents an excellent balance of brightness and fire. Our Super Ideal Cut diamonds are individually polished by our Master Diamond Cutter, who uses years of expertise to ensure the most perfect proportions, from the crown and pavilion angles to the star facets and lower girdles.
The Super Ideal Cut is designed to strike a perfect balance between brightness (the white light that returns from the diamond) and fire (the colorful flashes of light that are scattered when the diamond is viewed). Unlike standard Ideal Cut diamonds, which may struggle to achieve this balance, our Super Ideal Cut diamonds provide an unparalleled level of light performance.
The Cutting Process: Precision from Start to Finish
Each diamond undergoes a rigorous sorting process before it even reaches our Master Diamond Cutter. We carefully assess every rough diamond based on its carat weight, color, clarity, and fluorescence, rejecting those with undesirable hues such as brownish, greenish, or grayish tones.
Once sorted, the rough diamond is scanned using cutting-edge Sarine technology, which creates a 3D model of the diamond. This model allows our Master Diamond Cutter to plan the most optimal cut, ensuring the final diamond has perfect proportions and maximum light performance.
The cutting process is meticulous. Every facet is scrutinized for alignment and symmetry, with special attention given to the Hearts and Arrows pattern — a hallmark of a Super Ideal Cut diamond. When viewed through a specialized scope, a Super Ideal Cut diamond will show perfectly symmetrical Hearts on the bottom and Arrows on the top, ensuring a flawless visual experience.
Light Performance: Only the Best Will Make It
At Diamond Monster, we use the ASET scope to analyze each diamond’s light performance. This technology evaluates the intensity of light return, detecting any flaws or light leakage that could affect the diamond’s brilliance. Diamonds that fail to meet our exacting standards are excluded from our Super Ideal Cut inventory.
Out of every 100,000 diamonds, only one will meet our stringent criteria for the Super Ideal Cut, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after types of diamonds in the world.
Clarity: Flawless and Eye-Clean
We also place great emphasis on the clarity of our Super Ideal Cut diamonds. Only diamonds graded Flawless to VS2 clarity are considered for our collection. Clarity refers to the presence of any inclusions or blemishes in the diamond, which can impact its beauty and durability.
Our diamonds are carefully selected to ensure they are eye-clean, meaning that no inclusions are visible to the naked eye. In addition, we reject diamonds with any feather inclusions that cut across the girdle, as these inclusions could pose a durability risk over time.
