Comparing Diamonds

Find out the correlation between the light-scope image to the real life look of a diamond. I want to talk about the light-scope images and its technology here on this page. There is other technology that we use to determine a diamonds beauty and I will attach further subjects at the end of this page, but for now lets talk about these red images.

Do these images matter?

Yes, it does!!! As you could see above, the visual difference is clear. The diamond on the right is much more brilliant than the one on the left. I wanted to start out by showing what an everyday visual looks like in a diamond compared to the light-scope image so you'll understand how it matters. We all want a beautiful diamond. And this can be a way to demonstrate to you how we could narrow a diamond's brilliance down compared to another. All diamonds have some form of brilliance. But if you didn't have some kind of bar to go by then you are just being told and shown what someone wants you to see. This is a way to prove that you have a diamond with maximum light return.

The Aset

The Aset or light-scope concept is that a diamond's light will either reflect at you or it will go through the diamond in essence leak light. The light return part is broken up in a few ways. It will either come fully straight up at 75-90 degrees (blue reflection), 45-75 degrees (red reflection), or 0-45 degrees (green light). Ultimately you want the majority to be red with some contrast of blue and greens being a secondary light. Studies show that it produces the best brilliance. Any deviation of that would show less brilliance. The image examples will show this. The chart below is our main gauge with regard to categorizing the round diamonds. Then the white will be a straight leakage. This will always be a negative. A little white leakage is ok and most diamonds have some to a degree. Excessive light leakage will produce a lesser brilliant diamond.

A Diamonds Calculation

This shows the correlation between a diamond that returns light back to the top compared to a diamond that leaks light through the bottom. These images are from 2 different diamonds. How the diamond is cut will reflect how the light leaks or returns light.
