It seems to me that princess cut diamond earrings began to be very popular these days, the question is what happened that princess cut became so popular?
The fact is that the most popular cut in diamonds is the round brilliant!
Nothing will change that fact since this cut was created mathematically and is making the stone brighter.
This new princess cut is getting popular because of 2 main things:
1. The way this cut is made conserve more (physically) of the rough diamond.
2. The square shape of this cut gives it a more royalty feel to it, for some weird subconscious reason we perceived the square to be of a better and higher style.
This shows that the popularity of the princess cut is basically psychological and it captured the eyes of many.
These days you can find princess cut jewelery all around, earrings, bracelets and rings are popular with this diamond cut.
Can you imagine how some weird 'inside' mechanisms can affect people's choices and likeness, it really did have a huge effect on the diamond jewelry market.
Anywhere you look and search you can find this princess cut.
As far as diamond earrings concerned princess cut does fit beautifully in place and the only thing you need for measuring is you naked eye!
It does in fact connected to how we as humans think about certain shapes in the right context of course, you can see how people adore how other things should look like and we all know what made them assume that it is the right and only way it should be it is caused by our past experience and how we grew out to be. and of course that we feel like certain things can make us happy but some of those things are very tiny and it is what kind of shape is really our preference and how does this affect us??

DCLA identifies Treated Pink Diamond
ReplyDeleteRecently, a pink coloured diamond weighing 0.70ct was submitted to DCLA laboratory for certification and colour authentication. The colour was described as 3 PP on a diamond report issued by another Australian-based laboratory.
After routine examination however, DCLA discovered that when the diamond is viewed under high magnification with reflected diffused light, a patchy iridescent coating is visible on the surface. This coating is also easily visible on the pavilion facets of the diamond when viewed through the table. However, when the diamond is observed under magnification with regular diffused light, the pink coloration appears evenly distributed, particularly when viewed face up.
The pink colour is the result of a coating rather than from natural lattice defects in natural pink diamonds. Surface coating is the process of adding a thin layer of coloured foreign material to all or part of a gemstone's surface, with the intent of either masking the underlying body colour or enhancing a desirable colour. Most often, this coating is applied to the pavilion and/or girdle of the diamond; the way that light refracts as it passes through a diamond creates the illusion of uniform colour distribution.
The durability of diamond coatings vary considerably, depending on materials used and methods of coating applied. Most recent advances in technology employ a very thin optical or chemical film which is more durable than older methods, but still readily worn away by heat, scratching, abrasion, polishing, and just everyday wear.
Coating is a deceptive practice; we do not know the number of coated pink diamonds which have entered the marketplace, but the DCLA has seen a number of treated stones of late. Of particular concern is when such treated diamonds are accompanied by seemingly legitimate reports or paperwork.
DCLA screens every diamond submitted to the laboratory for all known treatments, and will not issue a diamond certificate for treated or synthetic diamonds.
