I recommend a stone by combining a number of assessment factors including:

  • the stone’s proportions and angles
  • how confident I am that the recipient will absolutely love love love the diamond;
  • calculated level of light return
  • optical precision
  • good quality diamond material
  • the value I believe it represents;
  • must be deemed eye-clean by me;
  • how well it fits the brief.

Efficient light return reduces apparent color, as is evidenced in the ideal cut oval stone above. This means it has good sparkle for a fancy color diamond without completely masking the color.

There is always a tradeoff between sparkle and color vibrancy. For this reason the fancy color oval cuts at James Allen are designed to show color evenly by having extra facets below the girdle.
