Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a gemstone and more particularly, to a round gemstone having a hearts and arrows pattern of ten Hearts & Arrows and method of cutting the same.
  • the round brilliant cut is the most popular cut shape for diamonds. Diamonds have various characteristics and three of the main characteristics are brilliance, dispersion and scintillation.
  • Brilliance is an essential attribute of a diamond and it generally refers to the amount of light that impinges on the top of the diamond and reflects back. Bright diamonds return lots of light from the surroundings back to an observer.
  • Dispersion which is also known as fire, refers to the prism of light refracted from within a cut diamond and relates to the rainbow colours that are emitted from the gemstone as it is viewed from different angles when a diamond moves relative to an observer.
  • Scintillation is the intense sparkles in a diamond as the diamond moves.
  • the light performance of a diamond is impacted by, among other things, the number, shape, angles and arrangement of facets on the cut diamond. A slight variation in one factor can alter the brilliance and appearance of the diamond.
  • a conventional round brilliant cut diamond consists of 57 facets, or 58 facets including a culet.
  • a conventional round brilliant cut diamond does not address a specific need of a particular way of having a gemstone cut that exhibits excellent brilliancy, scintillation and dispersion.

  • each of the crown middle facets is aligned with the pair of crown half facets to form a common point where the crown middle facet and the pair of crown half facets meets.
  • each pair of the lower girdle facets is aligned with two adjacent pavilion main facets to form a common point where the pair of the lower girdle facets and the two adjacent pavilion main facets meets.
  • the gemstone has a total of 81 facets.
  • the gemstone has a projection of ten heart shapes and ten arrow shapes when the gemstone is exposed to light.
  • a method of cutting a round gemstone having hearts and arrows pattern comprising a crown including a table, a girdle and a pavilion.
  • the method comprises polishing the gemstone to form a table; forming ten pavilion main facets at the pavilion at an angle between 40.7° and 41.2° relative to a plane parallel to a horizontal plane of the girdle, each pavilion main facet extending concentrically from a point of the pavilion distant from the girdle; forming ten crown main facets at the crown at an angle between 33.7° and 35.4° relative to the plane parallel to the horizontal plane of the girdle; forming twenty lower girdle facets at the pavilion, each of the lower girdle facet is aligned adjacent to, and forming a first common edge E with another lower girdle facet to form a pair of lower girdle facets and aligning each pair of the lower girdle facets between two adjacent pavilion main facets; forming ten star

  • the method of the present invention may comprise further steps to further process the gemstone to the final product. These steps include, but not limited to, pre-bruting the gemstone, blocking the pavilion of the gemstone, blocking the crown main facets at the crown, further bruting, polishing the table and faceting the girdle.
  • the method of the present invention as described hereinabove may be applied to polishing of, for example, a four-point sawable gemstone.
  • the method further comprises polishing the table or subjecting the table to laser, pre-shaping the gemstone, pre-bruting the gemstone, blocking the pavilion main facets, blocking the crown main facets at the crown, further bruting the gemstone, further polishing of the table, further blocking the pavilion main facets, further blocking the crown main facets at the crown and final bruting of the gemstone before forming the facets of the gemstone.
  • the second embodiment of the method of the present invention as described hereinabove may be applied to polishing of, for example, a two-point or three-point makeable gemstone.
  • a "sawable” gemstone is gemstone which can be cut in half in order to create two smaller gemstones.
  • a "makeable" gemstone is the name given to gemstones whose shape lends itself to having one large gemstone cut from it.
  • the balance between the Tang, scaive and the polishing machine is very critical. If one of these is out of balance, the entire pattern of the gemstone may be disrupted. Because the gemstone is cut into ten main facets at the crown and ten main facets at the pavilion, the start of the first facet is very crucial in order to keep the graining of the gemstone. If the graining is out, it will be almost impossible to achieve a good smoothing of all the facets.
