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.
