Originating from the prehistoric times, very possibly even before life began on planet Earth, diamonds have always been associated with myths, mystery and magic. No known tool could cut them and even the most violent fire would leave the diamonds mysteriously intact — how not to believe they have supernatural powers? Unique and enthralling objects, diamonds are indisputably the most famous gemstones in jewelry.
A high-quality cut diamond owes its beauty to its high dispersive and refractive powers. Entering the stone, light rays are endlessly reflected from its facets and broken up into the colors of the spectrum. The refraction of light in a diamond is particularly high, and varies slightly depending on the wavelength: it is what gives the stone its characteristic ‘adamantine’ brilliance. To put it simple, diamonds, just like drops of water in the air, act as prisms turning white light into a variety of colors: little precious personal rainbows so much pleasing our eye!
Although natural diamonds already give their own outbursts, it is their cutting by master craftsmen that improves and multiplies the rainbow effect. Since the very first experiments in diamond cutting in the 14th century, the industry have continued to seek how to optimize the fire of a diamond. Nowadays, the precision is guaranteed by the highly refined and newly developed cutting and polishing techniques. Because of their hardness, diamonds polish very slowly, forming an unusually finely-polished surface with very sharp edges between facets. No other gemstone can quite match this standard of polish.
