Diamonds are cut in many fancy shapes: there are navettes, baguettes, pears, square- or emerald-cuts. Among them, however, the classic is the round brilliant of eightfold symmetry. This style of cut has probably experienced the longest and most intensive history of development; it began as long ago as the first century B.C. and only in this century did it attain its zenith in the form of a circular brilliant cut. This style of cut is already so closely associated with diamond that today the latter is generally called a “brilliant” irrespective of the form in which it is cut Strictly speaking, however, the brilliant is a style of cut which is sometimes used with other gemstones too, for instance, with small rubies, sapphires and zircons.
Uncut diamonds give no hint of the unique optical properties of the cut stones. Rough diamond hides its beauty beneath a yellow, brown or grey tinted “coat”, a non-transparent skin which covers many rough stones. Only cutting can transform the unattractive “pebble” into that crystal-clear stone which, in clarity, luster and magical scattering of prismatic colors, surpasses all other precious- stones and has fascinated men for centuries.
The beauty of a cut diamond resides not only in an innately favorable body color, by which the human eye is generally first attracted. It lies, rather, in its superlative optical properties, particularly its high refractive index and color dispersion. The brilliant displays these properties in a fascinating manner, for in the cut state all those factors are in operation which, in optical harmony with one another, create the highest degree of brilliance.
Maximum brilliance – the interwoven concord of luster, light refraction, total reflection, color dispersion and scintillation – is not only the result of the practical experience and masterly craftsmanship of the cutter: what is needed, rather, is the knowledge and application of physico-optical laws in developing an optimal form of cut.
Only when precisely calculated planes and angles are used in the brilliant cut does the stone attain its greatest possible beauty. The following sections, therefore, are concerned with the physical fundamentals, in so, far as they are necessary for. understanding the processes in and on a diamond.
The breathtaking beauty of a diamond comes from a combination of fire (that flash of rainbow colors that comes from within) and brilliance (the burst of sparkling light). This dazzling beauty is a direct result of the diamond’s cut. The last of the four C’s, cut is a little more complicated than just the shape or visible outline of the diamond. Cut also refers to a diamond’s faceting as well as the diamond’s symmetry, proportion, and finish (known in the trade as the “make”).

Companies like Pantone create standardized colors that help extend our color vocabulary across a variety of artistic industries. Two of those industries are fashion and interior design, and they’re interconnected.
Emerald fits another over-riding trend for 2013: A longing for luxury.
Emerald is known as the color of growth, renewal and prosperity according to color experts at Pantone. The color has been rising for several seasons in both the fashion and decor markets and has increasingly become a staple color on the red carpet. Green is the most abundant color in nature making it one of the most seen colors in the spectrum.
A COLOR FOR EVERY YEAR
Trend forecaster Pantone Color Institute annually sets a palette for fashion and home decor, pulling from current trends, tastes and national mood. From those color swatches, Pantone names one tone as its Color of the Year.
Since picking sky-blue Cerulean in 2000 as its “Color of the Millennium,” Pantone has stuck with blue tones, choosing five different blues in 14 years (including two shades of turquoise). A lot of trend watchers thought another blue – deep ocean Monaco Blue – would be the choice for 2013, but Pantone went for deep green Emerald instead.
Over the years, some colors – such as red-hot Chili Pepper – have had more staying power than others, sticking around from several seasons. But others – such as dusky Sand Dollar – seem like a ripple on the beach, quickly fading from memory.
