Laser drilling laser marking marks left by laser and chemical substances to remove dark inclusions in diamonds. Tubular or funnel-shaped marks are called laser holes. Can be filled with high refractive index glass.
LC-level experienced raters observed it with a magnifying glass of 10 times under standard light source, and defined it without finding any defect features. In other words, the diamond does not contain any defect features larger than 5 microns and has sufficient brightness. (highest definition in China standard). The following conditions still belong to LC level: 1. The extra facets are located in the pavilion, and the crown is invisible. 2. The primary crystal plane is located at the waist line, which does not affect the transparency. 3. There are extremely subtle features inside and outside the diamond, and the triangular facet between the low waist and the main facet of the pavilion can be removed by slight micro-polishing.

P Inexperienced graders can easily find defects with naked eyes, which will affect the "fire" of diamonds.
The pavilion has 24 or 25 sides above the waist.
Pavilion main surface Pavilion main surface quadrilateral surface.
The angle between the main surface of futon and the horizontal plane of waist.
Pavilion proportion is the percentage of pavilion depth relative to the average diameter. The calculation formula is as follows: pavilion depth ratio = pavilion depth/average diameter × 100% Pav inlay technology for small diamonds. Diamonds are closely inlaid with each other, so there is no metal. The inlaid surface looks all paved with diamonds.
A wax cavity mold is a jewelry making process.
Pear diamond pear-shaped
Tiny natural inclusions in diamonds.
Platinum Platinum is an ideal metal for setting diamonds, and platinum is its symbol.
Diamonds with a point weight less than 1 carat are usually measured in "minutes", 1 carat = 100 minutes.
Polishing grinding/polishing refers to the process that the cutting technician grinds the diamond embryo and makes the diamond section. The polishing degree of diamond surface is an important index to measure the quality of diamond.
Bad cutting Bad cutting refers to the angle at which the technician cuts the valve surface and the proportion of each part of the diamond after cutting. Cutting too deep or too shallow is called bad cutting. When the proportion of the diamond below the waist is too deep or too shallow, the light will flow away from the bottom or side and lose its luster, and the value of the diamond will become lower.
Princess cut diamond Princess square improved bright cut diamond
Pointed setting/Tiffany setting Pointed setting is a slender gem with four or six claws. This kind of inlay shows the beauty of diamonds, which is convenient for observing the lathe work, color and clarity of diamonds. It was invented by Tiffany, a famous jeweler in new york, and is now widely used.
The percentage of the value of each face of a diamond relative to the average diameter.
Bright cut diamond
Ring size The size of the ring is called the hand inch, which is expressed by numbers. The size of oriental hand is between 8 and 24.
Rose gold Rose gold contains 75% gold alloy.
Circular bright cutting circular drilling ideal cutting, also known as Torkovsky cutting. It's the Polish mathematician Marshall. Marcel Tolkovsky of Tolkovsky (1899 ~ 199 1) first calculated the cutting equation that theoretically made the diamond reflect the most light in 19 19. The width of the platform should be 53% of the total width, and the angles of the pavilion should be 40 degrees and 45 degrees. There are 57 or 58 faces.
Rhodium Rhodium is a platinum group metal.
Circular diamond-shaped circle
Shallow cutting is too shallow, which refers to the angle at which the technician cuts the valve surface and the proportion of each part of the diamond after cutting. If the proportion of diamonds below the waist is too shallow, the light will flow away from the bottom or side and lose its luster. The value of diamonds has also become lower.
Shape refers to the type of diamond, such as circle, triangle, square, olive pointed, pear-shaped, oval or heart-shaped.
Step cutting steps cut a first-class cutting surface like stairs. Beryl and long step cutting are examples of step cutting.
A triangular facet between the main facet of the star-shaped faceted crown and the mesa.

When a diamond reflects light, a little light from the cut surface is called flash.
Silver is often added to K platinum.
Solitaire single gem inlay.
The horizontal symmetry of each part around the center point obtained by cutting and polishing symmetrical diamonds, that is, the arrangement of cutting planes and their mutual angles. Like ratio, it is also an important index to evaluate cutting. If the lathe work and proportion of a diamond are excellent, symmetrical cutting will make the flash and flame more intense. The evaluation of symmetry in foreign certificates is more detailed, and the order from high to low is ideal (ID), excellent (EX) (or premium), very good (VG), average (F) and poor (P).
