Diamond Cutting Masterclass
Technical specifications for high-end jewelry manufacturing and precision 3D CAD design.
Emerald Cut
The Emerald Cut is defined by its rectangular silhouette and linear step-facets. This cut prioritizes clarity and the “hall-of-mirrors” effect over pure fire. In professional CAD modeling, it requires perfect parallel alignment to maintain its architectural integrity. It is a staple for luxury statement rings.
Cushion Cut
Merging a square shape with rounded corners, the Cushion cut mimics a pillow. Known for its “chunky” fire, it is a high-demand shape in contemporary bridal markets. From an engineering perspective, the varied facet patterns offer a unique challenge for photorealistic rendering.
Pear Cut
The Pear cut combines the brilliance of a round with the elongation of a marquise. This teardrop shape is highly sought after for pendants and engagement rings. CAD technicians must manage the “bow-tie” effect in the center to ensure maximum brilliance in the final production mold.
Asscher Cut
A square step-cut with deeply cropped corners, the Asscher cut offers a vintage Art Deco appeal. It requires a high pavilion and a small table for light return. Professional jewelry houses utilize this shape for geometric high-end collections that emphasize depth and technical precision.
Radiant Cut
The Radiant cut bridges the gap between an emerald and a brilliant cut. With 70 facets, it provides intense sparkle while maintaining an architectural rectangular shape. It is the preferred choice for colored gemstones as the cut intensifies color saturation within the 3D jewelry structure.
Heart Cut
The Heart cut is the ultimate symbol of romance, requiring extreme skill from the cutter to ensure perfect symmetry. In 3D modeling, calculating the cleft and point is vital to avoid structural weaknesses in the setting. Ideal for custom bespoke projects.
Old Mine Cut
Characterized by a high crown, small table, and large culet, the Old Mine cut is the ancestor of the modern cushion. It reflects light in large, soft flashes. This shape is essential for designers recreating Victorian era jewelry using modern production techniques.
Rose Cut
With a flat base and a faceted dome, the Rose cut resembles an opening rosebud. It offers a subtle, ethereal glow. Because of its flat bottom, it allows for low-profile settings, a major trend in contemporary minimalist jewelry and 3D printing workflows.
Trillion Cut
The Trillion is a bold, triangular shape often used as side stones. Its three-sided brilliance makes it a powerful choice for avant-garde designs. Engineering these requires precise corner protection in the CAD file to prevent chipping during the stone setting phase.
Baguette Cut
Baguettes are slim, rectangular step-cuts used primarily in channel settings. They emphasize the architectural lines of a piece. In ARTEN3D studio, we utilize these to create seamless “walls” of light in high-jewelry watch faces and bands.
Tapered Baguette
Similar to the standard baguette but narrowing at one end, this cut is essential for radial designs. Tapered baguettes require absolute mathematical precision in CAD to ensure the metal prongs secure the uneven stone widths flawlessly.
Calf’s Head
A rare six-sided cut that resembles a calf’s head outline. Often used as a side stone for center diamonds. This cut is a hallmark of high-jewelry houses that demand unique geometric configurations in their 3D production pipelines.
Shield Cut
The Shield cut is a fancy shape that mimics a warrior’s shield. Its unique five-sided geometry is often used in bespoke men’s jewelry. It represents the peak of custom 3D jewelry engineering due to its non-standard, complex facet ratios.
Lozenge Cut
The Lozenge is an elongated diamond rhombus with four equal sides. It provides a sharp look for Art Deco or contemporary edgy designs. At ARTEN3D, we recommend this for designers looking to break away from traditional round silhouettes.
