5 C’s & More --- Cut – Light Analysis
Light Analysis consist of 3 Main Factors
| Brilliance |
representing the intensity of the internal and external reflections of white light from The crown of the diamond. Hardness, reflective index, reflectivity, polish, luster and Proportions all affect a gemstone’s brilliance. |
 |
| Dispersion |
separation of white light into component spectral colors, each of which vibrates at a different frequency . As light passes through a diamond, different wavelengths are reflected to deferent degrees and have slightly different refractive indices. Dispersion is also called Fire.
|
 |
| Scintillation |
Flashes of light reflected from a polished diamond, seen when either the diamond, the light source, or the observer moves. In addition to a diamond’s inherent optical properties, scintillation depends on the number and size of the facets, the precision of the facet angels and the quality of the polish. Sometimes called sparkle. |
